Ri Sol-ju Makes Public Appearance
First Lady of North Korea Attends Concert
Trailblazing North Korean First Lady Emerges
Ri Sol-ju, the wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, has made a rare public appearance this week, attending a concert with her husband. Ri has taken a far more active role than previous first ladies in North Korea, and her appearance is seen as a sign of her growing influence.
Ri Sol-ju was born in 1985-1989 and is believed to be 31 or 32 years old. She is a former singer and met Kim Jong-un while they were both attending university. The couple married in 2009 and have three children.
Ri Sol-ju has been seen in public on several occasions since her husband came to power in 2011, but her appearance at the concert is her most high-profile appearance to date. Her appearance is likely to fuel speculation about her role in the North Korean regime and her husband's plans for the future.
Ri Sol-ju's appearance at the concert is a sign that she is becoming a more prominent figure in North Korea. Her active role in public life is a departure from the traditional role of North Korean first ladies, and it is likely to have a significant impact on the country's image both at home and abroad.
