When Kim Jong Un praised a crowd of applauding students and young workers at the May Day celebrations this month, the North Korean dictator and his subjects shone and exposed the mask.
Within days, however, a student in close contact with Kim contracted a new fever that plagued the country, according to the Daily NK, a South Korean-based news agency that has a network of contacts in North Korea.
The proximity of the case to the supreme leader may finally force Pyongyang’s hand. Because on May 12, after clinging to the claim that he was left without Covid during the pandemic, the regime revealed that the coronavirus had broken through the country’s borders.
