Kim Jong-un Makes First Public Appearance in 20 Days
As I have been saying, let this play out because these so called experts declaring him dead don’t really know what is going on with something as sensitive as Kim Jong-un’s health:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a fertilizer factory completion ceremony, state media reported Saturday, his first public appearance after 20 days of absence that sparked rumors about his health.
The official Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim cut the tape at the ceremony marking the completion of Sunchon Phosphatic Fertilizer Factory in Sunchon, north of Pyongyang, on Friday.
Photos released by KCNA showed Kim, dressed in a dark Mao suit, cutting the red ribbon during the ceremony and talking to accompanying officials with a smile on his face. They did not show any signs of an illness.

You can read more at the link, but my speculation was that he may have had some follow up surgery on his bad ankle that limited his mobility. Kim Jong-un is not the type of person that is going to go out and make a public appearance with crutches. According to the report Kim looked healthy and moving around just fine.
Don’t supposed he referred to any recent events or held up a news paper with a date..
All he’s done is makw himself the center of attention. I wouldn’t be surprised if he engineered the whole thing, with Beijing’s help. It was, after all, XiNN that first (falsely) reported him dead.
Could be an old photo. Looks too healthy to just have had heart surgery.
So, Flyingsword, you said South Korean intelligence was a joke. But they were right all along when they said Kim was alive and well, and you were wrong.
I’m with flyingsword on this. If the event did not include foreign dignitary attendees, then there’s really no way to know it’s a current, or even relatively recent, appearance.
CH’s “tragic missile accident” is sounding more plausible all the time.
I thoroughly enjoy the comments I’ve heard online over the last few weeks, one such comment being “Kim Jong-Un may be ill”. Well, no kidding. He’s morbidly obese.
I imagined he was having his stomach stapled or maybe having liposuction. I thought he would emerge as the new “Slim, Trim, Kim”!
One video shows Kim standing in front of a celebratory sign for the factory opening that clearly says “May 1.” That, however, isn’t definitive proof of life. As with Osama, we need video of Kim referencing current events to have evidence he’s alive. Barring that, any claim that Kim is alive is just a claim. (That said, I think it’s overly optimistic to claim Kim is dead.) I discussed this a few days ago:
