North Korea: Kim Jong-un weds mystery woman

A mystery woman who has accompanied North Korea’s new leader Kim Jong-un to recent public events appears to be his wife, South Korea’s top official on cross-border affairs said Wednesday.

Minister Yu Woo-Ik said that “in my judgment she appears to be his wife,” in response to a question from a lawmaker on parliament’s foreign affairs committee. He did not say why he had reached that conclusion. (News agencies)
