North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has reportedly made his first public appearance in weeks, at a fertilizer factory north of Pyongyang. The radio report, however, has not entirely dispelled speculations about his death.
A news broadcast by the North Korean state radio said that Kim cut the ribbon on a fertilizer plant in Sunchon, in South Phyongan Province, on Friday. He was accompanied by his sister Kim Yo-jong and several other officials.
The Sunchon event was also reported by the state news agency KCNA, and by South Korea’s news agency Yonhap, who said it “contradicted rumors” about Kim’s health.
