Surprisingly, state media made no mention of the amusement park visit, focusing solely on Kim’s meeting with Pompeo. It wasn’t until Oct. 11, 2022, that the media divulged further details about the North Korean leader's activities in the capital, leaving his amusement park visit shrouded in secrecy.
Curiously, historical evidence suggests that this wasn’t the first time Kim covertly enjoyed amusement park rides, with documented instances on April 25, 2010, before assuming leadership, and Nov. 2, 2015.
Kim Jong Un’s predilection for unconventional pursuits extends beyond amusement parks. Notably, he visited Pyongyang’s Mirae Shop department store a day before departing for Singapore to meet then President Donald Trump in June 2018, the report noted.
