Kim Jong-un's daughter wears 250k yen brand-name goods despite North Koreans starving: Korean coverage

North Korea's general secretary, Kim Jong Un' daughter, Kim Joo-ae, was found to be wearing a branded item that cost $1,900. "North Korea's leaders continue to consume luxuries, even as 42% of the population suffers from malnutrition due to recent food shortages."

North Korea's state-run broadcaster, Chosun Central TV, released a photo of Kim Joo-ae, who accompanied General Secretary Kim, two days after the launch of the Hwasong-17 ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile).

In this photo, the hooded black coat worn by Kim Joo Ae, who can be seen behind Kim Jong Un, has a pattern unique to Dior products.

The product turned out to be Dior's "Kids Hooded Down Jacket" for $1900.

In addition, on October 10th, 2020, at the military parade commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea, General Secretary Kim delivered a speech to the people saying, "Let's overcome disasters," and acted as a leader of the people. It is captured that he was wearing a Swiss IWC Portofino automatic watch.

On the other hand, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in North Korea, Elizabeth Salmon, said in a report submitted to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on the 9th, "North Korea's food shortage has become serious, and 41.6 Approximately 10% suffer from malnutrition," he said, adding, "For many families, eating three meals a day has become a luxury."
