As the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un has been in the public eye for years. Recently, however, he has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. There have been reports of him executing top officials, as well as rumors that he is in poor health. No one knows for sure what is going on with Kim Jong Un, but it is clear that something is not right.
There are currently no publicly known events or plans involving Kim Jong Un.
Why is the North Korea crisis happening?
US intelligence believes that North Korea is increasing production of enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. In addition to its known fuel-producing facility at Yongbyon, it is believed that North Korea has multiple secret nuclear sites.
North Korean citizens usually cannot freely travel around the country, let alone travel abroad. Emigration and immigration are strictly controlled. This means that people are not free to move about as they please, and that their movements are heavily monitored by the government.
Why is North Korea and South Korea fighting
The Korean conflict is an ongoing conflict that has its roots in the division of Korea between North Korea and South Korea. Both sides claim to be the legitimate government of all of Korea, and both sides have been involved in military action and skirmishes over the years in an attempt to assert their control over the entire peninsula. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties, and it shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
Kim Jong-il, the former leader of North Korea, has died at the age of 69. He was succeeded by his youngest son Kim Jong-un, who was hailed by the Korean Central News Agency as the “Great Successor”. Kim Jong-il had been in poor health for many years, and his death was widely expected.
Why are US citizens not allowed in North Korea?
The Department of State continues to warn Americans not to travel to North Korea due to the serious risk of arrest and long-term detention. Americans have been detained in North Korea for a variety of reasons, including for taking pictures of military personnel, trying to leave the country without proper documentation, or for sharing their faith. The Department of State has received reports of North Korean authorities using detention as a tool to coerce American citizens into spying for the government.
Kim Jong-un is the current leader of North Korea. He is the son of Kim Jong-il, who was the leader of North Korea from 1994 to 2011. Kim Jong-un was born in 1984 or 1985. He was educated in Switzerland and North Korea. He is the supreme leader of North Korea since 2011.
Can North Koreans have phones?
Although North Korea has an adequate telephone system with 118 million fixed lines, most phones are only installed for senior government officials. To get a phone installed, someone must fill out a form indicating their rank, why they want a phone, how many phone they want, and how they will pay for it.
If you are travelling to North Korea, it is important to be aware of the strict laws about what you can bring into the country. It is illegal to bring in religious, pornographic or political items, and all published material and electronic devices must be declared when you arrive. It is also illegal to knowingly or unknowingly possess items that breach North Korean law.
Why does North Korea have no Internet
Since February 2013, foreigners have been able to access the Internet using the 3G telecommunications network provided by Koryolink. However, permission to access the Internet remains tightly restricted. Nearly all of North Korea’s Internet traffic is routed through China.
The victims of North Korea’s abduction program were mostly taken for the purpose of teaching Japanese language and culture at North Korean spy schools. However, some older victims were also abducted in order to obtain their identities. This allowed the North Koreans to create false identities for their spies and operatives.
Why are South Koreans not allowed in North Korea?
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a buffer zone cutting across the peninsula which is 4km in width (2km in each Korea). This serves as a divider between South and North Korea. Outside of extraordinary (typically diplomatic) circumstances, nobody is permitted to cross the DMZ.
If you are planning to travel to North or South Korea, please be aware that it is not possible to enter either country from the other. Even if you meet all entry requirements, you may be arbitrarily arrested and/or detained at your point of entry. We advise against travelling to North or South Korea at this time.
Can a US citizen travel to North Korea
Individuals cannot use a US passport to travel to, in, or through North Korea without a special validation from the Department of State. Special Validations are granted only if it is in the US national interest to do so. Tourists are considered to be participating in activities at their own risk.
The United States had a policy during World War II of preventing any one power from dominating Korea. It may be reasonably concluded that the main reason for the division of the country was to halt the Soviet advance south of the 38th parallel.
What did Kim Jong-un do to dogs?
The two female North Korean-born puppies were a gift from Kim Jong-un to South Korean President Moon Jae-in during a historic summit in Pyongyang in 2018. The dogs, named Dolson and Bing Dong, were intended to symbolize the warming relations between the two countries. However, the dogs’ fate became embroiled in politics when the South Korean government revealed that it was unable to cover the cost of their upkeep, leading to a disagreement with the North Korean government over who should pay. The dogs have now been moved to a zoo in South Korea, where they will be cared for at the expense of the South Korean government. The whole incident highlights the delicate nature of the relations between North and South Korea.
There are not many Americans living in North Korea. The ones that do live there consist mainly of defectors and prisoners of war during and after the Korean War, as well as their locally born descendants. Additionally, there are occasional tours and group travel which consists of Americans via train or plane from China, some with temporal lodging and stay.
Conclusion
At this time, it is unknown what is happening with Kim Jong Un.
There is no clear answer as to what is going on with Kim Jong Un. Some believe that he is simply a leader who is trying to best represent his country, while others believe that he may be unstable and pose a threat to global security. Only time will tell what Kim Jong Un is truly up to.
