North Korea’s Kim Jong-un pictured with mystery woman

Some South Korea media reports suggested she was Kim’s younger sister Yo-jong,
who is believed to have studied in Switzerland along with him in the 1990s.
Others suggested she may be Kim’s wife or lover.

Seoul’s intelligence agency and unification ministry, in charge of
cross-border affairs, declined to comment.

The speculation highlighted the degree of secrecy in the North about the
private lives of its rulers.

At the concert on Friday night, performers dressed as Minnie Mouse, Tigger and
others danced and pranced as footage from “Snow White,” “Dumbo,”
“Beauty and the Beast” and other Disney movies played on a massive
backdrop, according to still photos shown on state TV.

The inclusion of characters popular in the West – particularly from the United
States, North Korea’s wartime enemy – is a notable change in direction for
performances in Pyongyang. Actors and actresses also showed off new
wardrobes, including strapless gowns and little black dresses.

Kim himself established the group that performed, and the changes may be a
sign that he is seeking to carve out a different image from his father and
predecessor, Kim Jong-il, by easing restrictions on Western culture, said
Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korean studies professor based in Seoul, South Korea.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Kim has a “grand plan to
bring about a dramatic turn in the field of literature and arts this year.”
