Fears for Kim Jong Un’s wife after not being seen publicly since March 2016
Fears are growing for
the safety of North Korea’s first lady, who has vanished from public view for
the past seven months. Ri Sol-ju got married to Kim Jong Un in 2009
and soon after, she gave birth to their child and heir to the country. She
was always seen in public wearing designer clothes and expensive
handbags and has appeared alongside her husband several times as he toured
factories and theme parks.
But for the past
seven months, she has vanished from public view after last being seen at a
sporting event in March.
North Korea observers
fear she may have fallen into her husband/dictator's bad books and or
maybe incurred the wrath of his equally menacing sister, Kim Yo Jong.
Experts
believe Yo Jong is the power behind the throne and is even more deadly than her
brother. One North Korea watcher told Yonhap News Agency:
“Ri showed up at public
events every two months last year but has not appeared in public for over seven
months this year. “That’s quite extraordinary.
“Some sources speculate Ri’s disappearance may
be linked to a check on her activities by Kim’s younger sister Kim Yo
Jong."
