The photographs, published by state newspaper Rodong Sinmun, showed Kim touring what was said to be a clothing and footwear exhibition with his daughter.
The images, according to the BBC, came hours after an unsubstantiated rumour had circulated that the North Korean leader had “died and that his body had been secretly returned to North Korea, with the regime concealing his death.”
