Kim doesn't show up and his messages still coming up

In an attempt to show that things are right, North Korea's official media has published consecutive letters from Leader Kim Jong-un.

Kim expressed appreciation to the people involved in construction work for the Wonsan-Calma Tourist Region project, according to the North Korean Central News Agency.

But the news did not include a new visual appearance for the leader of the reclusive communist state.

The South Korean Yonhap News Agency believed on Tuesday that the North Korean leader may now reside in the eastern coastal city of Wonsan in Kangwon Province.

And press reports had talked about the deteriorating health of Kim after he underwent surgery several weeks ago, while information indicated that he might have died. The North Korean leader disappeared from view for more than 17 days in a row.

The Wonsan-Kalma project on the birthday of the founder of the Communist State, Kim Il-sung, corresponding to April 15, was scheduled to be completed after it was postponed twice.

However, North Korean media did not release news reports about the event, which raised speculation of problems.

Message to an African leader

On Monday, government media in North Korea released a message that Chief Kim sent to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on the occasion of his country's Freedom Day, which marks the end of apartheid.

The 36-year-old Communist leader wrote to Ramaphosa that the relationship between the two countries is growing in strength and steadiness, according to the North Korean Central News Agency.

By spreading this message, Pyongyang appears to be trying to show that the leader is doing well and doing business as usual.

Numerous allegations say that the North Korean leader was hit by a missile, but Seoul and Washington played down the significance of these reports, and said there were no concrete indications of such a thing.

US President Donald Trump, in press statements, said he was aware of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's health and wished him "good luck", in a statement that might dispel doubts surrounding Kim's deterioration or his death.
