Kim was seen walking, standing, joking and smoking in extensive footage of his visit. His three-week absence from the public eye appears to have been linked to coronavirus.

TOKYO — North Korean state television showed extensive footage of Kim Jong Un on Saturday presiding over the opening of a fertilizer factory, with many shots of the leader walking normally, standing, joking and smoking, in apparently good spirits and with no signs of any new health problems.

But officials in the United States and South Korea believe Kim retreated to a beach resort in Wonsan after becoming aware in mid-April that subordinates in his vicinity had suffered from a fever, according to two people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence reports.There was certainly no sign of any health issues in the footage aired Saturday, barring the fact that the 36-year-old Kim is obviously overweight.
