Ri Sol-ju
Ri Sol-ju is the wife of North Korea’s Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un. Recent reports have raised speculation on the whereabouts of the dictator’s wife.

In 2013, the country’s media announced the execution of Jang Sung-taek, his wife’s uncle.
Details about the couple’s private life are scarce. Not much can be confirmed about Kim Jong-un himself. He had barely been seen in public before taking power. He was officially declared the supreme leader –while while still in his 20’s –following the state funeral of his father on 28 December 2011.
Ri Sol-ju is thought to have tied the knot with Kim Jong-un in 2009 and soon after she gave birth to his child and heir to the state. However, Ri Sol-ju who appears to be in her early 20’s, was introduced to media as the first lady in 2012, after several weeks of accompanying her husband in public appearances.
Accoridng to online sources, Ri Sol-ju caught her husband eye during a singing performance. Apparently the former songstress was specially trained to be his consort. Accoridng to Yonhap news agency, she took a six months course in the duties of a first lady.
