Behind the smile – What do we know about the wife of North Korean dictator Ri Sol-ju?

– Published on:

It attracted a lot of attention in 2012 that an extremely beautiful young woman began to be seen more and more often next to Kim Jon-Un, the dictator of North Korea. Soon propagandists around the country released statements that her name was Ri Sol-ju and that she was the wife of dictator Kim Jong-un.

Which was remarkable because the previous dictator, Kim Jong-un’s father and grandfather, never appeared in public with their wives and they were carefully hidden.

William and Kate Asia?
Disappears regularly

By flaunting a beautiful bride, Kim Jong-un is said to be making himself more modern and even sweeter, and there have been rumors that he dreams of the couple becoming North Korea’s answer to Prince William and his wife, Princess Catherine. .

The couple have now been married for over a decade and will have three children together. She is often seen with the chef, then disappears for months at a time, then reappears alongside her man, dressed head to toe in designer clothes in a country where very few people have access to a knife and a knife. spoon.

This cycle repeated itself several times in their marriage, and sometimes Ri Sol-ju has been missing for so long that there are fears for her fate.

She is known to have been a singer
who is she

But who is Ri Sol-ju? Where is he known?

The little that is known comes mainly from refugees from North Korea, from those high up on the ladder of power, from information that has been smuggled out of the country, as well as from demands that are made of the wives of people powerful, not to mention the densely developed at the top.

Because despite the official “socialist” policy of gender equality, not much actually happens in North Korea’s male empire.

One of the first images captured by Ri Sol-ju

First of all, her name is not Ri Sol-ju, her name was changed when the dictator became interested in her, but little was done to find out her birth name.

She was a singer in a girl group (North Korean girl groups aren’t Spice Girls or K-pop groups, to put it mildly) before the wedding.

But her co-singers will have vanished off the face of the earth and are said to have been vanished to brush up on a singing career, which couldn’t be fashionable enough for the dictator’s wife, and presumably mother. of the next dictator.

Was chosen to be asked

She had nothing to say about the marriage, she did not receive a proposal. She received an order and no one says no to the dictator.

She had to cut off all her friends and on top of that, she is not allowed to contact her family. Never.

His past has been erased on a single painting.

It’s not like she should be ashamed of her lineage, as her parents are party people, her mother is a gynecologist, and her father is a teacher.

She was “redesigned”, decisions about clothes, hairstyles and makeup were made at her request.

She is never to appear or be seen without her husband, or leave the luxurious residence they are staying in at the time.

Which is very different from the first ladies of other countries who often shine in charitable works, and then without their husbands.

She has never spoken publicly and never will.

The wife should never appear alone, unlike her husband.
Prohibition in addition to prohibitions

She was hidden while she was pregnant and demanded a son. The monarch must have been annoyed when the first two children were girls, but became happier when the third was a boy.

Ru Sol-ju should never criticize her husband, should ask permission to be heard, and under no circumstances show negativity or mention that she disagrees with her husband.

Not to mention all his concubines.

The media, or the country’s three public media, a newspaper, a TV station and a radio station, can never cover her, and taking a picture of her without permission is a death sentence.

What’s behind the smile?

Over the years Dior suits have given way to much more conservative and colorless garments, but the hairstyle is still the same.

Kim Jong-un is actually a hairstyle enthusiast and extremely proud of his own.

Ri Sol-ju is not allowed to move around without permission. She is not allowed to travel across the country, let alone out of the country, unless accompanied by her husband.

It is said that her parents were so well-liked in the Party that it helped her to travel abroad, which is rare in North Korea, before the dictator chose her as his wife.

She even spent a few months in China to study.

However, Ri Sol-ju lives in a luxury that no ordinary North Korean can dream of.

And since the quality of life standards are completely different from anything we know, Ri Sol-ju is the luckiest woman in the country.

What does she think of it herself on the other hand? What’s behind the smile? It would be very interesting to know.
