Kim spotted alone

A fan spotted Kim Jong-un walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 8, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Jong-un back on the market?

A rep for Kim Jong-un was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the political figure was splitting hit the internet Friday (January 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Jong-un’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Kim spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
