Kim Jong-un missing: North Korean leader 'could have fled after attempted coup'

Supreme leader has been missing from the public eye for over a month

Reports surrounding Kim Jong-un’s prolonged absence are now suggesting the North Korean leader may have been subjected to an attempted coup, over a month after he disappeared from the public eye.

Kim, a man whose appearance is central to state propaganda, has not been seen at an event since 3 September. Rumours are rife as to where the leader of the notoriously secretive state could be.

The world is now waiting to see if Kim will attend the 69th anniversary of the founding of North Korea's Workers' Party on Friday, with some suggesting a no-show could signal a change in the Pyongyang regime.

Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo’s Waseda University, told The Telegraph recent events in the country, including reports of a ban on new travel passes, could point towards an attempted coup, or suggest that the authorities there have uncovered "some sort of plot against the leadership”.

"If it is a military-backed coup, then the situation in Pyongyang will be very dangerous and I have heard reports that Kim has been moved out of the capital," he said.

10. probably not

The people there are incredibly brainwashed and teeter between fear and blind adoration. Those who would be close enough to stage a coup are those who are the true believers. Those who are not the true believers wouldn't have the equipment or physical strength to cause one (they keep most of the populous under nourished).

If that is what happened, his weight problem may soon be solved.

13. He fled on a reconfigured MH370.

But the randomizer added to the controls means he could be anywhere in time and space.
