British media quotes the former intelligence officer as saying
‘Too pale and thin to go public’

It has been claimed that North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un has three more children in addition to his daughter Kim Ju Ae and that his eldest son is not publicly revealed due to his small stature.

General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea Kim Jong Un visited the Ministry of National Defense with his daughter Kim Ju Ae on the 76th anniversary of the Military Foundation Day (founding of the modern Korean People’s Army) on the 8th, according to the Workers’ Party of Korea newspaper Rodong Sinmun on the 9th / News1

According to the British newspaper Daily Mail on the 23rd (Korean time), a former National Intelligence Service agent named Choe Su Yong cited North Korean sources as saying, “The appearance of the eldest son is a factor that makes it difficult for Leader Kim to reveal him to the public.”

Choe also claimed that Leader Kim has two illegitimate children. He added, “Unlike his pudgy and well-nourished father and sister, the son is said to be pale and thin,” and “It is said that the son does not resemble his great-grandfather Kim Il Sung at all.”

According to the media, North Korean leaders must look like Kim Il Sung. It is known that Leader Kim Jong Un also gained weight to establish authority during his successor period, similar to Kim Il Sung. There is a concern that a thin body could remind North Korean residents of the Great North Korean Famine in the 1990s.

Previously, the National Intelligence Service reported to the National Assembly’s intelligence committee in March last year that “we are sure that the first child (of Kim Jong Un) is a son,” according to the People Power Party’s lawmaker Yoo Sang Bum, a secretary of the National Assembly’s intelligence committee.

However, Unification Minister Kim Yung Ho said in a comprehensive audit of the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee of the Korean National Assembly in October last year, “We have not yet confirmed whether Chairman Kim has a son.”
