The Dhaka Times Desk The country's leader Kim Jong Un was absent from the birthday celebrations of North Korea's founder and grandfather Kim Il Sang on April 15, a public holiday, not because of physical illness but because of concerns about the coronavirus.
South Korea's North Korean Affairs Minister Yeon-chul said this in the wake of rumors about Kim Jong Un's mysterious hiding on Tuesday.
Kim Jong Un's absence from grandfather's birthday celebrations is rare; He has not been seen in public since that day. For the past few days, there have been various rumors about his physical condition. Some US media also reported the death of the North Korean leader.
South Korean officials say they have not detected any unusual activity in North Korea. Caution is also advised in publishing news of Kim Jong Un's illness.
Meanwhile, North Korea says that no one infected with corona has been identified in the country so far. It has been claimed that there is no outbreak in the country due to strict measures taken to prevent the corona virus.
It is true, Kim Jong Un has never been absent from Kim Il Sang's birthday celebrations since coming to power, Minister Yeon Chul said in a speech to the South Korean parliament. However, several events and banquets have also been canceled due to concerns over the coronavirus.
He also said that since mid-January, Kim Jong-un has not been seen at least twice for about 20 days. I think this is not particularly unusual given the current coronavirus situation.
