Dictator wife evaporated from the public. Now rumors are circulating.

Once again, rumors are circulating around the Kim dynasty in the hermetically sealed North Korea. This time it is the wife of dictator Kim Jong-un who is the subject of the rumor. The reason is that Ri Sol Ju has not appeared in public for nine months.

While the British tabloid newspapers The Sun and Metro bring up wild speculation that she may be dead – and even executed – other media have more sober theories as to why she is out of the spotlight.

Ri was last seen with her husband Kim Jong-un in connection with the New Year celebration in January. She also shone with her absence during the military parade on Kim il-Sun Square, which was held on October 10. Ri has also not appeared on other important public appointments since January.

A North Korean expert tells Nettavisen that the main reason why these rumors arise is because the regime is the only remaining closed country in the world.

– We had some such closed Eastern bloc countries during the Cold War. But now only North Korea is left. North Korea is therefore the country that journalists and other good people can speculate about and quote each other that something terribly cruel is happening there, says head of the Nordic Institute for Asian Studies at the University of Copenhagen, Geir Helgesen, to Nettavisen.

The pretty wife of the fat boss

He further points out that there are many forces in South Korea that do not see themselves benefited by the South Korean government trying to normalize relations with its neighbor to the north.

– Then there are a lot of forces in South Korea, for example North Koreans in exile, who want the regime in the north where the pepper grows. They simply invent incidents that could create uncertainty around North Korea. Is the regime collapsing? Is the boss sick? Has the boss excluded his wife? Are they divorced? All this helps to keep alive the idea that North Korea is absurd and unreliable. So that the pretty wife of the fat boss should be out of the dance is quite unlikely, says Helgesen.

Three rumors circulating

Daily NK, an English-language newspaper run by former defectors in South Korea, promotes other theories as to why Ri has not appeared in public for many months.

The newspaper quotes an anonymous source who claims that there are three specific rumors circulating about the dictator’s wife in North Korea.

The first rumor is that Ri takes care of and cares for Kim Jong-un’s alleged sick aunt, Kim Kyung Hee. This is supposed to be the most widespread rumor among the people, as it is allegedly spread by people with “quick access to information”.

Kim Kyung Hee became a widow after her husband Jang Song Taek, Kim Jong-un’s married uncle, was executed by the Kim regime a few years ago. Dictator Kim is said to have been extra caring towards his aunt after the execution, and is said to have given her particularly good treatment.

Daughter’s schooling

The second rumor is that the dictator’s wife Ri is fully occupied with taking care of her daughter’s schooling and school activities, which according to ex-basketball player Dennis Rodman is called Ju-ae. The daughter is said to have been born in 2013, and in that case is in early primary school age.

The third rumor circulating in North Korea is that Ri is suffering from poor health.

In South Korea, experts assume that the absence from the public is due to the coronavirus, according to NK Daily, as Ri’s last public appearance took place shortly before the pandemic seriously affected the world.

Experts believe that Ri avoids crowds for fear that she or her children will be infected with the coronavirus.

– Yellow dust cloud with corona

North Korea claims they have no corona infection in the country, but the regime has been on full alert since the pandemic started at the beginning of the year, reports the BBC.

This week, the regime issued public recommendations to the population to stay indoors and close windows. The reason given is that there is a yellow cloud of dust on the way from China that could potentially bring with it the coronavirus and infect North Koreans.

Embassies in the capital Pyongyang have also reported that they have been warned of a dangerous cloud of dust. On Thursday, there were allegedly empty streets in the capital, reports the BBC.

There is no scientific evidence that there is any link between corona spread and this yellow cloud of dust, which regularly drifts across the Korean Peninsula from China and Mongolia.

Turkmenistan, another dictatorship, has also claimed that a “virus-infected” cloud of dust was the reason why they ordered its inhabitants to wear bandages. Turkmenistan denies that there is any corona outbreak in the country.

– Not a big problem

Helgesen says there is no indication that North Korea will be hit hard by the pandemic.

– There have been some reports that North Koreans who have traveled to South Korea have taken the virus back to North Korea. But South Korea is a country with a very controlled system. They are extremely good at stopping infection. North Korea is no less controlled. On the contrary. If North Korea has had a corona problem, it has probably isolated people and dealt with the situation. I do not think the corona is the big problem in that part of the world, says Helgesen.

Rumors about Kim

In April, there were massive rumors in the world press that Kim Jong-un was either dead or life-threateningly ill. The rumor arose after Kim’s personal train had been observed at a hospital near the dictator’s country house.

The Norwegian-Venezuelan human rights activist, Thor Halvorssen, said at the time that Kim had probably evaporated because he sought cover from the coronavirus. Shortly afterwards, Kim appeared in public again, and the rumor was thus put to death.
