Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader, is reported to have undergone a heart surgery. Widespread speculation about his health and whereabouts began after he missed the celebration of his grandfather’s birthday on April 15. On April 21, the Associated Press reported that a senior U.S. official said that Kim was in “grave danger” after the surgery.
There is not a lot of information available about Kim Jong Un’s heart surgery, but it is believed that he underwent a successful operation.
Does North Korea still execute people?
The death penalty is currently used as a last resort in North Korea, but it is expected to be abolished in the future. Under the 1950 Criminal Code, capital punishment was listed as one of four basic measures of punishment and could be imposed on anyone 18 years or older, except for pregnant women. However, the death penalty is now only used in rare cases, and only as a last resort. This change is likely due to the increasing international pressure on North Korea to end its use of the death penalty.
The reports of the execution of Hyon Song-wol were false, and she is very much alive.
What happened to Kim Jong-il
Kim Jong-il was the second Supreme Leader of North Korea, leading the country from the 1994 death of his father Kim Il-sung until his own death in 2011. He was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-un. Kim Jong-il was known for his totalitarian rule, his aggressive pursuit of nuclear weapons, and his human rights abuses.
Ri Sol-ju is the current First Lady of North Korea as the wife of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. Not much is known about her, as she keeps a low profile. She is believed to have been born in 1985-1989, and she married Kim Jong-un in 2009. Ri Sol-ju is usually only seen accompanying her husband on official visits and public appearances.
What crimes are punishable by death in North Korea?
The death penalty is a very controversial topic and is still widely used in many countries today. It is used for many offences such as grand theft, murder, rape, drug smuggling, treason, espionage, political dissidence, defection, piracy, consumption of media not approved by the government and proselytizing religious beliefs that contradict practiced Juche ideology. The death penalty is a very inhuman and barbaric way to punish someone and I believe that it should be abolished worldwide.
Soju is the national drink of North Korea, and there is no limit on consumption. It could even be considered a national pastime. Soju is a clear spirit made from rice, wheat or barley.
Is there divorce in North Korea?
In North Korea, divorce can only be granted by a court order. Article 21 of the country’s family law stipulates that a couple can divorce if a “spouse has seriously betrayed the love and trust of a married couple, or if the couple cannot continue with married life for some other reason.”
Kim Jong-un has expressed his excitement with and support of the smartphone, believing it will support the country’s economy and “instill national pride and self-respect”. The Arirang is a smartphone manufactured by a local vendor that uses the Android operating system. Data inputs on the device include a multi-touch, capacitive touchscreen and push buttons.
Why was Kim Jong Nam exiled
He was thought to have fallen out of favour after embarrassing the regime in 2001 with a failed attempt to visit Tokyo Disneyland with a false passport, although Kim himself said his loss of favour had been due to advocating reform.
Despite what many people believe, it is perfectly fine to take photos and videos in North Korea. The media often portrays North Korea as a country that does not allow visitors to take pictures or videos, but this is not the case. Visitors are welcome to take photos and videos of their trip, and they will not be detained or punished for doing so.
Why is North Korea closed America?
Since the US government does not have diplomatic relations with North Korea, the ability to provide assistance to US citizens is extremely limited. The North Korean government has been known to detain foreigners, particularly US citizens, often for political reasons. travelers to North Korea should exercise increased caution and be aware of the risks of detention.
Since US policy toward Korea during World War II had aimed to prevent any single power’s domination of Korea, the division of the country was likely done in order to stop the Soviet advance south of the 38th parallel. This would ensure that no one power would be able to control the entire Korean peninsula.
Can North Koreans have babies
All North Korean women are entitled to give birth in a hospital. Mothers typically stay for ten days after giving birth, and those who give birth through a Caesarean section stay for 15 days. This allows mothers to recovery and bond with their new baby.
Koryolink is the official name of the 3G mobile phone service in North Korea, and it is now effectively under the control of the state-owned Korea Post and Telecommunications Corporation (KPTC). There has been a large demand for the service since it was launched.
Can you smoke in North Korea?
In North Korea, smoking has become a normal activity for men, but it is taboo for women to smoke. All three of the country’s leaders—Kim Jong-un, his father Kim Jong-il, and grandfather Kim Il-sung—have been smokers.
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in South Korea. As of December 2012, there were at least 60 people in South Korea on death row. The method of execution is hanging.
Warp Up
The regime has not released any information on Kim Jong Un’s health or whereabouts since he was last seen on April 11th. Rumors began circulating that he may have undergone heart surgery after he was absent from several important public events. It is still unclear what exactly happened to Kim Jong Un, but many believe he is either dead or gravely ill.
In 2019, it was reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had undergone surgery to address a heart condition. It is unclear what exactly happened to Kim Jong Un’s heart, but it is clear that the surgery was successful in correcting the issue. Kim Jong Un has not been seen publicly since the surgery, but there have been no reports of any problems with his health.
