North Korean regime confesses Kim Jong-un cannot 'magically disappear'

An official newspaper of North Korea has confirmed that regime leaders can not magically bend time and space,as previously claimed during the reign of Kim Jong-un and former leader Kim Jong-il.

The move shows thatthe secretive regime is turning away frommyths about their leaders.

Previously, there were a lot of rumors and conjecture thatthe Kim family are masters of"chukjibeop", a method of folding space and travelling great distances in a short period of time.

The method of Chukjibeop has long been indoctrinated into North Korean society, to encourage worship of its leaders.

The newspaper, theorgan of the North's ruling party, said:"In realistic terms, a person cannot suddenly disappear and reappear by folding space."

On Thursday, an official at South Korea's unification ministry saidthat the current regime's trend of demystificationis "noteworthy".

Last year the secretive dictator failed to reach an agreement in a second summer with President Trump and is now said to be encouraged to reveal his ''human''side,urging the North Korean people to stay away from the mystification of their leader.

"Mystifying a leader's revolutionary activity and appearance would result in covering the truth," Kim was quoted as saying in state media in March last year after the breakdown ofnegotiations with the US.

"Absolute loyalty would spring up when (they) are mesmerised by the leader humanly and comradely."

Earlier this month, he made hisfirst appearance in publicafter20 days ofrumours about his deteriorating health.
