Kim Jong Un a no-show at traditional celebration. People speculate about health issue. # #

He's basically an absolute dictator. Maybe he just got tired of honoring his grandfather's memory. Or maybe his nation's claim of zero # infections is false. There's really no way to tell, because despite the celebration being a tradition that he embraced, no one is going to force him to continue it, or require "a good reason" for him missing it.

Heck, maybe his # leaked ten minutes before the celebration started and he did not have time to find another pair of pants large enough to fit.

# (Pretty useless, eh? That's the point.)
