Zeus 7997 Posted September 26, 2014 http://time.com/3432195/north-korea-missing-kim-jong-un/ Kim was last seen alongside his wife Ri Sol Ju at a concert in Pyongyang on Sept. 3, and several news outlets are speculating that the 31-year-old may be ill. The Wall Street Journal speculated on Friday that Kim might be suffering from gout, a disease caused primarily by an excessive intake of meat, sugar and alcohol. A South Korean official told the Journal that gout runs in the tyrannical clan, starting with Kim’s grandfather Kim Il Sung, who died in 1994 at age 82. Kim also suffers from obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, he added. Another theory about his condition, according to Agence France-Presse, is that he picked up an injury while providing “guidance” to North Korean athletes competing in the Asian Games, currently in progress at Incheon, South Korea.

Tetora 625 Posted September 26, 2014 Another theory about his absence: He actually just got into League of Legends. 10 usuxorz, sai, shizukasou and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furik 832 Posted September 26, 2014 How could Korea NOT know where their own supreme leader is? This is weird. If it was Obama, the US would be shitting bricks. 1 hitsuji-hime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beni 2149 Posted September 26, 2014 When I first read the title, I was worried that someone had gone missing. But then I realised and remembered who Kim Jong Un is... So anyway, am trying to figure out how a leader could be missing.. Furik's comment. xD Exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeus 7997 Posted October 3, 2014 https://news.vice.com/article/former-top-official-says-kim-jong-un-is-no-longer-in-control-of-north-korea?utm_source=vicenewstwitter An elite group of exiles from North Korea gathered in September in the Netherlands to discuss the state of the regime they used to serve. The conference included top diplomats, an ex-senior official of the Ministry of Security, and a high-ranking military officer, but the keynote address was given by Jang Jin-sung, formerly a key member of Kim Jong-il's propaganda machine. Included in Jang's speech was a surprising assertion: North Korea is in the midst of a civil war. According to Jang — a former counterintelligence official and poet laureate under Kim Jong-il — members of the government's Organization and Guidance Department (OGD), a powerful group of officials that once reported only to Kim Jong-il, have stopped taking orders from his son, Kim Jong-un. The OGD, Jang says, has effectively taken control of the country, and a conflict is simmering between factions that want to maintain absolute control over the economy and others seeking to gain wealth through foreign trade and a slightly more open market.
