In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un disappeared from the public eye for several months, leading to speculation about his health and whereabouts. In September of that year, North Korean state media confirmed that he had been suffering from an unspecified illness and was receiving treatment. Although there were no confirmed sightings of Kim Jong-un during his absence, in November he reappeared in good health and was seen attending several public events.
The answer to this question is unknown.
What happened to Kim Jong?
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Kim Jong-il, who passed away on 17 December 2011. Kim was a great leader and will be sorely missed. His son Kim Jong-un has been named as his successor and we hope that he will be able to continue his father’s legacy.
Kim Jong-un is the current leader of North Korea and is believed to have ordered the purge or execution of several North Korean officials. He is also believed to have ordered the 2017 assassination of his half-brother, Kim Jong-nam, in Malaysia. These actions could be considered crimes against humanity and he may be put on trial for them in the future.
Who rules North Korea now
The Kim family has ruled North Korea since 1948 for three generations. Although little is publicly confirmed about the family, they are believed to be a powerful and influential force in the country. The family’s rule has been marked by periods of stability and prosperity, as well as by times of turmoil and hardship. The family has faced many challenges, both from within and from outside North Korea, but has so far managed to maintain their grip on power. It is unclear what the future holds for the Kim family, but it is clear that they will continue to play a major role in North Korea’s politics and society.
If you are planning to travel to North Korea, it is important to note that you will need a visa in order to enter the country. Without a valid visa, you may be detained or arrested upon arrival. There are several different types of visas available, so be sure to consult with the North Korean embassy or consulate in advance in order to determine which one is right for you.
Can you smoke in North Korea?
Smoking is considered to be a normal activity for men in North Korea today, but female smoking has become a social taboo. All of North Korea’s three leaders—Kim Jong-un, his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sung—have been smokers.
Since the US policy toward Korea during World War II was to prevent any single power’s domination of Korea, it may be reasonably concluded that the principal reason for the division of Korea was to stop the Soviet advance south of the 38th parallel.
How is North Korea punished?
There have been widespread reports of torture and executions in political prisons in North Korea. Amnesty International has collected testimonies from witnesses that describe secret and public executions in North Korean prisons by firing squad, decapitation or by hanging. These reports are unverified, but if they are true, they paint a picture of a country that is willing to resort to extreme measures to silence its critics.
A pair of dogs gifted four years ago by the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, have ended up at a zoo in South Korea after a dispute over who should pay for the animals’ care.
The dogs, named Moo this and that, were given to Kim by parents of a North Korean defector in 2016, in the hope that they would pave the way for improved relations between North and South Korea.
However, the dogs were never seen again after they were gifted to Kim, leading to speculation that they had been eaten.
The truth was that the dogs were being cared for by the North Korean military, but when it was time to pay the bill, the South Korean government refused, saying that it was a gift from Kim to the South Korean people.
This led to a standoff, with the North Koreans demanding payment and the South Koreans refusing.
eventually, the dogs were sent to a zoo in South Korea, where they will be cared for at the expense of the South Korean government.
How strong is North Korea military
The Korean People’s Army (KPA) is the military force of North Korea, and as of 2021 it is the second largest military organisation in the world, with 299% of the North Korean population actively serving, in reserve or in a paramilitary capacity. The KPA’s main objectives are to defend North Korea from external aggression and to maintain internal stability. The KPA is under the control of the Supreme Leader of North Korea, and its headquarters is located in Pyongyang. The KPA has a wide range of weaponry, including nuclear and chemical weapons, and is one of the most militarised countries in the world.

Can you get married in North Korea?
The following is a note on the topic of love between young men and women in North Korea. Although the process of getting married is no different from the rest of the world, “love” marriages are becoming more ubiquitous now in North Korea. This is likely due to the increasing influence of Western culture in the country.
Much like in other Soviet, socialist, or Eastern Bloc countries, North Koreans can travel abroad with permission from the government. North Korea is a closed country, and its government strictly controls who is allowed to enter and exit the country. However, North Koreans who are able to obtain permission from the government to travel abroad are often able to do so without much difficulty.
Can Americans go to Korea
Starting September 1, 2021, US citizens traveling to Korea will need to have a valid visa or an approved Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) to enter Korea. If you don’t have either of these, you won’t be able to enter the country. US citizens can apply for a K-ETA online, and it will cost $25. The K-ETA is valid for five years and allows multiple entries into Korea.
Due to the lack of international cooperation, North Korea is not a safe place to travel. The increased risk of unlawful detention and imprisonment and the potential for warfare or nuclear escalation mean that visitors could be in danger.
Is it good to live in North Korea?
The North Korean government offers very little in the way of social services or safety nets, which means that many North Koreans live in poverty and often go hungry. The country is also culturally and economically isolated, which makes it difficult for North Koreans to improve their situation.
Soju is a clear, colorless, distilled alcoholic beverage made most commonly from rice. North Koreans typically drink soju straight, but it is also commonly diluted with water or fruit juice. Soju is very popular in North Korea, and is often consumed at social gatherings or with meals. There is no limit on consumption or public drunkenness, and it is not uncommon to see people drinking in public.
