Whether it’s reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It’s all the news that’s fit to watch.
Hi all, I am one of the reporters who worked on this video.
With so many rumors circulating about Kim Jong-un, we didn’t want to add more speculation. Instead, we wanted to explore what North Korea experts and observers are doing to keep track of developments in this secretive country.
Direct access for independent observers such as journalists is highly restricted in North Korea. So what can be done? First, there are satellite images to track motorcades, trains, planes, or ships. This technology also allows us to look at activity at the residences of Kim Jong-un.
Further, experts also look at state broadcasts for new visuals of Kim Jong-un, and keep an eye on unusual flight or military activities.
None of these tools provide a magic bullet to figure out exactly what’s going on in real time. As one of the experts told me, it’s important to rely on multiple sources and to not jump to conclusions.
If you are interested to see more about how we and others use new technologies and traditional reporting to conduct investigations of closed countries such as North Korea, check out these stories:

They finna drag you after they find your comment

That’s none of ur business, let the man be and focus on treating corona virus, that’s what’s important now
This is a whole different level of stalking
@kamry wilson they see fault in others but can’t see their own mistakes, true hypocrites. Too much disinfectants and u. v. Rays make them dumb.
@Unknown Vx yeah USA is that big hypocrite who always meddle with other country’s human rights issues. And yet within their own territory, human right violations are worse.
@BApple got your second account B Verne to comment on this thread huh, get a life
@Jero Let’s forget about the government which hates the way of life of all countries that threat its heightened sense of superiority
Zau Htoi Lahpai why?
Im more concerned for Kims Medical staff than Kim Jong Fatty himself.
Ahahaha nice joke i laughed
@Megan Yeager why would doctors get punished?he is a fatty bustard who snatched millions of innocent peoples smile?
Amen to that
can you imagine the level of pressure his medical staff lives under?
Kim’s Doctors and nurses might be on danger
It’s ok he just got lost in McDonalds, probably stuck in the children’s ball pit again
Ha ha ha!!! Classic !!! Top boy Jay !! Peace.
best comment ever!!! Just hope the kids made it out safe
lol
Probably he try to eat two Quarter Pounders at the same time and it got stuck in his throat.
@Tala Aljaber whoosh
This is the weirdest “Where’s Waldo” game I’ve ever seen.
@Kaung Chit Naing I prefer to think if KJU as emulating Jabba the Hutt. He’s a ginormous slug.
@George W Bush Oof We played Whack-a-Mole with Saddam, too 🤣😂🤣
Someone else said he’s inside a ball pit 😂
Lmao
About time a new Waldo appeared.
Everyone knows the original died after Corona virus came about.
He didn’t practice social distancing 🙁
Us: Kim, where are you?
Kim: confining
He’s on a beach in the South Pacific somewhere drinking margaritas. He’s had enough of this totalitarian business
Where in the world is Kim Jong-Sandiego?
Omg I sang this In My head lol
Florida?
He has many impersonators. Maybe they’re taking auditions.
He isolate himself just like everybody else:
I feel like I’m now on an FBI watchlist. But for a good reason this time.
“This time” hmmmmmmmmmmm
@Dim potato lmao
Where’s Kim?
Washed, embalmed, slightly thinner and self isolating in a wooden box.
Yup
HOPE SO.
Plasser1000 why
Well, I sure hope he’s ok – everybody knows Trump doesn’t like vegetables.
Maybe yes, but i heard that he doesn’t like food with high cholesterol level either
Hmm….wonder if that’s true
Kim Jong-Un: Wonder how they track me…..
New York Times: These are the ways we track Kim Jong-Un.
Miscre8ted lmao 😐
Kim : How to track myself
Kim Jong Un is only hiding in isolation due to COVID pandemic.
If his father is Kim Jong Il then it makes sense he’s Kim Jong Unwell
Ok I’ll show myself out
Bruh….
Informal Settler lmao
haha….funny
not.
Us : Is Kim Jong Un alive or dead?
North Korea : Yesn’t
Listen closely:
Trump: “I’ve HAD a very good relationship…”
Kim is dead
He’s obviously alive
Trump isn’t exactly well known for his eloquent use of the English language.
Kim Jong un: *hates vegetables*
God: *_”I’ll make him a vegetable”_*
Overstar yea he so fat
*”Where is Kim Jong-un?”*
Me: He’s probably inside a coffin being carried by 6 African men to bury him alive.
