In 2025 Kim Jong-un Made the Most Public Appearances in 9 Years

It has been as busy year for Kim Jong-un:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made the most public appearances in nine years in 2025, as he increased diplomatic engagement and on-site supervision of the implementation of a five-year national development plan, data showed Sunday. 

Kim’s public appearances, as reported by North Korea’s state media, totaled 118 as of the end of November, according to data from the Korea Institute for National Unification. 

Including additional public activities reported by state media between Dec. 1 and 27, the total number rose to 131.

This year’s total marks a slight increase from last year’s 127 and matches the previous high recorded in 2016.
