    Kim reappears in public after 20-day absence

    On 02 May 2020, North Korean state media Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that
    Kim Jong-Un attended a ceremony near Pyongyang on 01 May, after his absence for 20 days
    which had triggered global rumors that he may be seriously ill. The KCNA reported that Kim
    celebrated the completion of a fertilizer factory in Sunchon on 01 May. The state media showed
    videos and photos of Kim wearing a black Mao suit and constantly smiling, walking around
    facilities, applauding, cutting a huge red ribbon with a scissor handed by his sister, and smoking
    inside and outside of buildings while talking with other officials. During the ceremony, a sign
    installed on a stage where Kim sat with other senior officials read: “Sunchon Phosphatic
    Fertilizer Factory; Completion Ceremony; May 1, 2020.”

    It wasn’t immediately clear what had caused Kim’s absence. To note, speculation about his
    health swirled after he missed the 15 April birthday celebration of his late grandfather Il-Sung.
