This was his last apperance, in June

Kim Jong-un has seemingly gone missing or at least hasn't been since since he was visited by leaders from China in June. The normally very social and spotlight-loving North Korean despot has seemingly disappeared from the public eye in recent months.

As long as the Daily Star has been covering the bizarre goings-on in North Korea, Kim Jong-un has been a constant presence in the country. He would normally make daily appearances, be it at the opening of a factory, weapons hub, farm or envelope, while also just enjoying the attention his population were forced to show him.

But that all changed around two months ago . . . and he hasn't been seen in public since. The last available images of him are actually photos of the front page of a North Korean newspaper, showing him meeting with his counterparts in China in North Korea. That was on June 9, with almost a total silence since then and that includes some very strange things happening from the country's media . . .
