North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was spotted flying from Pyongyang to the east coast in a private jet on the 22nd, and South Korean media speculated that he was fleeing from the Chinese Communist Party’s virus epidemic.
According to Korean media reports, civil aircraft tracing websites “Flightrader24” and “No Callsign” released news that North Korea’s Air Koryo JS671 passenger plane flew from Pyongyang to the East Coast at around 10:05 a.m. local time on an AN-148 of Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines, which is often used as Kim Jong-un’s special plane.
Although the destination of the flight was not announced, the JoongAng Daily suggested that Kim Jong-un may have temporarily left Pyongyang for his private villa in Wonsan, Gangwon Province, in order to dodge the Communist Party’s virus epidemic.
The special plane was spotted flying to Wonsan during April-May this year when overseas media went crazy with rumors that Kim Jong Un was suffering from health problems or even died, and the U.S. side disclosed that he was staying at the Wonsan villa at that time.
In addition, North Korea, the world’s most closed country, has been under the oppressive rule of Kim Jong-un, causing resentment among its stalwart cadres, who often refer to each other by the coded term “second daughter-in-law” to show that he is inferior to his father, Kim Jong-il.
According to Chosun Ilbo, South Korea’s Unification Ministry has adjusted the columns of North Korea’s intelligence website since the 8th to make the pages easier to navigate and include a North Korean code word in the information column. The explanation for the code word “second daughter-in-law” from the Unification Ministry reads, “North Korea’s stalwart cadres call each other Kim Jong-un’s second daughter-in-law and often refer to Kim Jong-un’s name in terms of the second daughter-in-law’s order and the second daughter-in-law’s instruction.”
Radio Free Asia also quoted internal North Korean sources as saying that the cadres compared the previous leader Kim Jong Il to the “eldest daughter-in-law” and Kim Jong Un to the “second daughter-in-law,” meaning something like “only after marrying the second daughter-in-law do you understand the love of the eldest daughter-in-law” to show their dissatisfaction with Kim Jong Un and that Kim Jong Un is inferior to his father.
