North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un Is A No-Show At A Major Anniversary Event Fueling Speculation That Something Is Wrong

Kim Jong-un 'No Show' Increases N Korea Speculation -- BBC

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un missed a key political anniversary ceremony, state media said, amid speculation over his absence from public view.



On Friday his name was not on a list of those who visited a mausoleum to mark the ruling party's anniversary.



Mr Kim has not been seen for more than a month, the longest hiatus since he came to power in 2011.



State television last month said he had an "uncomfortable physical condition" and later showed him limping.



On Friday, South Korea said it believed Mr Kim remained in control of the communist state.



"It seems that Kim Jong-un's rule is in normal operation," Unification Ministry spokesman Lim Byeong-cheol was quoted by Yonhap news agency as saying.



"With regard to his specific health conditions, our government has no information to confirm yet," he said.
