Odd. I wonder if somebody took him out.

I had figured a lower body of government/military was pulling the strings in North Korea ever since Kim Jong Il died.

Then again, in a similar fashion to the "anointed kings" of Europe, the regime's sustainability relies on the public believing that the Kim dynasty is descended from gods / are gods and therefore anyone else wouldn't be able to command the same authority from the masses. It would be a complete change in dynamics; They would likely revolt.

Thoughts?

I think it more likely that he is hiding from assassination attempts.

He's at the barbers, getting his 'do touched up.

Leaders usually go into hiding due to attempts. He could also be sick, etc.
