Is state run television letting his citizens know anything? Might he perceive it as a sign of weakness to have to show the world he is okay? Yes it makes sense he would appear if he could but with the games played by him and that regime it just always makes me question a "makes sense" interpretation of what they are doing. There was some fake video someone launched in NK showing footage of Kim's dads funeral, and then showing fake photos of Kim in a glass coffin, laying in state. It apparently upset a lot of the NK's (they think Kim is a god on earth). I would think, if the guy was capable of walking up right and smiling, that he'd be out in public somewhere, just to make sure his people know he's still alive. Just to make sure no-one is getting any ideas. I found this Video does not show funeral of North Korea leader Kim Jong Un about it being on Facebook. And there is this: Many countries have banned or temporarily limited access to the social networking website Facebook, including Mainland China,[2] Iran,[3] Syria,[4] and North Korea.[5][6] Use of the website has also been restricted in various ways in other countries. As of May 2016, the only countries to ban access around the clock to the social networking site are China, Iran, Syria, and North Korea. However, since most North Korean residents have no access to the Internet,[7] China and Iran are the only countries where access to Facebook is actively restricted in a wholesale manner. link So do you have support for "launched in NK"?

I'm not sure he is happy with the world thinking he is weak, or his citizens thinking he's vulnerable. Is state run television letting his citizens know anything? Might he perceive it as a sign of weakness to have to show the world he is okay? Yes it makes sense he would appear if he could but with the games played by him and that regime it just always makes me question a "makes sense" interpretation of what they are doing. Maybe. I certainly don't have any real insight into Kim Jung Un.

Saw some articles while googling yesterday but will need to wait for a brûlée’s I get on my computer to do it. Didn’t check the sources though so it may be tabloid bs.

I was thinking your keyboard would be quite a mess if you had brûlée’s on it.😎

Sounded more like another rumor, but this time a rumor he made an appearance. Still, they can't confirm that, either.
