So it WAS his girlfriend! or WIFE!?
North Korean state media today confirmed that its new leader Kim Jong-Un is married, ending weeks of speculation about the identity of a stylish young woman seen accompanying him at official events.
State television reported that Kim and his wife took part in a ceremony Wednesday marking completion of a Pyongyang amusement park.
The couple were given a warm welcome, the official news agency said. “All the participants enthusiastically welcomed them, loudly shouting ‘Hurrah!'”, it reported.
A smiling Kim and his wife toured the pleasure grounds and watched a dolphin show “to the tune of joyful music” together with senior party, state and army officials and diplomats, the agency said.
There was no information on how long they have been married.
In contrast to his late father, who spoke just once at a major public event during his 17 years in power, the younger Kim has cultivated an outgoing and informal style.
He has been seen hugging soldiers, posing for photos with troops and linking arms with women.
The chubby young man physically resembles his late grandfather, who still commands respect among some North Koreans for his past as an anti-Japanese guerrilla fighter and national founder.
oh no! Let’s hope there aren’t going to be little Jung-Uns running around!
