The wife of the head of the DPRK Kim Jong-un appeared in public for the first time in a year. The photo was published by the Central Telegraph Agency of Korea (CTAC) on its website.
As reported by the agency, the wife of North Korean leader Lee Seol Joo appeared with him at a concert in honor of Star Day. The event took place at the Mansude Art Theater in Pyongyang.
The previous time, the state publications of the DPRK reported about Lee Seol-chu on January 25, 2020, when she and her husband went to the theater in Pyongyang for the New Year’s performance. Due to the absence of the wife of the leader of North Korea, the South Korean press started talking about her disappearance.
One of the possible reasons for Lee Seol Joo’s disappearance from the public field was called her care for Kim Kyung Hee, the younger sister of Kim Jong Il, due to the fact that Kim Jong Un is very attached to her aunt, who may be sick. The second is that the spouse of the DPRK leader has health problems. According to other sources, Lee Sol Joo stopped appearing in public due to the spread of the coronavirus in order to protect herself and her family, since “many do not wear masks properly during public events.”
After that, The Times reported that Kim Jong-un was spotted in the company of his former lover, 43-year-old singer Hyon Song-wol.
