Video - North Korean Kim Jong-un's wife said to have given birth.
Kim Jong-un's wife said to have given birth.(Yahoo). London, Jan 3 (IANS) Speculation is rife that the wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has given birth in recent weeks, a British daily reported.
Photographs seen on North Korean TV showed Ri Sol-Ju wearing a neatly-fitting two-piece skirt suit in contrast to the loose-fitting clothes she was seen wearing in December, which suggested she was heavily pregnant, the Daily Mail said.
Adding to the speculation that Ri has given birth was her recent slimmed-down appearance at an official event, where an all-woman band sang Johnny Mathis' song "When a Child is Born".
"Before-and-after" photos were also run on South Korean TV and in newspapers in Seoul.
"The bulging stomach has gone down - has Ri Sol-Ju given birth," asked the Dong-A Ilbo newspaper.
The caption in another South Korean paper, the Chosun Ilbo, read: "Ri Sol-Ju with her tummy reduced in 11 days. Has she come out right after childbirth?"
A South Korean government official told the Yonhap news agency that Ri "appeared to have already given birth based on analysis of the TV images".
North Korea has not yet made any official announcement.
Even when Kim Jong-Un was married, state media revealed it quite late, long after pictures had emerged of a stylishly-dressed young woman accompanying the new leader at official events.
According to South Korean media, citing intelligence reports, the couple were married in 2009 and already have one child. But that has never been confirmed.Read the full story here.

North Korea - Kim Jong-un Gets Married - North Korean TV.
North Korea - Kim Jong-un Gets Married - North Korean TV.(RN).North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has got married, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said on Wednesday quoting North Korean TV. North Korean TV has recently shown footage of Kim at several events with an unidentified young woman, sparking speculation of a romance. The media said the woman’s name was Ri Sol-ju. According to reports, Kim and his wife on Wednesday attended a ceremony to mark the completion of a recreational park on Pyongyang’s Rungna islet. Georgy Toloraya, director for Korean Programs at the Institute of Economics, said the news of the marriage clearly illustrated a shift towards transparency in the Communist state’s domestic policy. The two previous North Korean leaders rarely appeared in public with their wives. “It’s yet another illustration of the fact that Kim Jong-un’s administration policies have clearly taken a new direction: [toward] greater transparency, greater contact with the people, an attempt to limit the power of the military,” he said. He said that as the state media did not reveal any details of the ceremony, the wedding apparently took place some time ago. Another expert on North Korea, Konstantin Asmolov said that “no drastic changes have taken place in North Korea so far.” Asmolov, who is a senior researcher at the Center for Korean Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Far Eastern Studies, said the domestic policy shift rumors were just another example of “myths” that “journalists invented and then refuted.” “For some time North Korea was surrounded by certain myths and any information that didn’t fit was rejected. And now people are suddenly trying to ‘reinvent the wheel’ and link it all to the recent transition of power.”Hmmm......Welcome to the club of 'Yu-So-Phukt'?Read the full story here.
