For 2017, the reclusive state's leader made the fewest public appearances since coming

into power.

An indication that Kim Jong-un is becoming more isolated than ever.

However North Korean watchers believe signs of warming up to the idea of dialogue next

year could be reflected in the young leader's New Year's speech.

Oh Jung-hee shares with us some expert's take on the matter.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made fewer public appearances this year... than in any

other year since he assumed leadership of the regime in 2012.

According to Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency,... Kim made 93 public appearances in 2017,...

a 30-percent drop from last year.

Military-related tours accounted for over 40-percent of his appearances,... with social

and cultural events... and visits related to the economy... taking up about 30-percent

each.

Kim appeared at public events over 150 times in 2012,... and over 200 times in 2013,...

but that number steadily decreased to around 170, 150, and 130 in the following years,...

hitting around 90 this year.

Analysts say,... Kim at first aimed to solidify his grip on power as well as build an image

of a friendly leader who's close to the people.

But in his sixth year of leadership, Kim may have felt that his authority has become more

or less stable.

(Korean) "The recent drop in Kim's public appearances

can first be attributed to the fact that Kim has completed the reshuffle of the leadership

structure.

Also, I personally see that military pressure from the United States has an influence.

It includes a strategy to get rid of Kim... so Kim tends not to show himself often."

With Kim making less and less public appearances, his leadership is becoming more and more closed.

But pundits believe, he could try to make room for dialogue with other countries through

the upcoming New Year's speech,... as the regime has announced the completion of its

weapons program.

(Korean) "Through the 2018 New Year's speech, there's

a possibility that Kim will once again declare the completion of Pyongyang's nuclear development,...

and turn towards peaceful dialogue with South Korea and other countries.

So how the international community responds to the North's move will be important."

But the expert added, if the international community still hangs onto strict sanctions

against the regime, Pyongyang may carry out additional provocations,... like a seventh

nuclear test and further ICBM launches.

American English Vowels for Public Speaking Part II - Duration: 2:06.

Hi everybody, it's Jill.

Last time, we looked at the three key vowels in our vowel chart.

Today, we're going to add in all the vowels in between i, a and u.

All these vowels are so important because of the emphasis we place on vowels when we

say our stressed syllables.

I want you to go ahead and watch the shape of my mouth, how it changes from a big smile

to a dropped jaw, to rounded lips.

Watch this.

/i:/, /e/, /a/, /a:/, /o:/, /o/, /u:/.

I'm sure you could see all those exaggerated movements.

Let's try them again together, okay?

Let's start at e.

Here we go.

/i:/,/e/, /a/, /a:/, /o:/, /o/, /u:/.

And here comes our favorite /ʃwɑː/sound.

It's made in the middle of the mouth: /a/, /a/.

We make a little cup with our tongue and remember the /ʃwɑː/ sound is so important because

it's that unstressed syllable.

That's where we get that contrast.

I want you to practice these vowel sounds.

Just keep doing it until you feel tired, okay?

I'll see you next time.

Don't forget to like, to share and to subscribe to our channel.

Thanks so much for watching.

American English Vowels for Public Speaking Part I - Duration: 2:10.

Hi everyone, it's Jill.

Today we're going to look at the shape of three key vowels.

These three key vowels are so important because all of the other sounds fall in between these

three sounds.

Listen to the first sound: /i:/.

/i:/.

Can you see this shape, this big smile, how I use my cheeks?

/i:/.

You need to say /i:/ until your cheeks hurt.

/i:/.

Okay, let's go to the second key vowel.

/a:/. /a:/.

Can you see how my jaw is dropping? /a:/.

Very important.

/a:/.

It's a little relaxed.

It's like going to the doctor and he says /a:/.

That's the second sound.

The third key vowel sound is /u:/.

/u:/.

And you can see my jaw is up again, but my lips are engaged, my lips are round.

/u:/.

/u:/.

So here are the three key vowel sounds /i:/, /a:/,/u:/.

Practice those three key sounds and come back for a video that shows you all the other vowels.

Thanks for watching.

Don't forget to like, to share and subscribe to our channel, and I will see you next time

for more on vowels.

N. Korean leader Kim Jong-un makes 93 public appearances in 2017 - Duration: 1:35.

The latest data shows that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has made less public appearances

in 2017 than he has in previous years.

The number of appearances by the North's leader has been decreasing over the past five years.

Kim Mok-yeon has more.

From January 1st to December 29th this year, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un attended a

total of 93 public activities, which is about 30 percent less than last year.

According to data released by South Korea's Unification Ministry on Friday, Kim has been

steadily reducing the number of his public appearances since 2013, and for the first

time since data was first compiled in 2011, the number of visits fell below one hundred.

Nearly half of his activities were related to military affairs, as the regime held nearly

20 missile tests and another nuclear test this year, focusing on its development of

military power.

Kim's military-related tours accounted for 44 percent of his appearances, surpassing

40 percent for the first time,... followed by appearances related to social and cultural

events with 29 percent, and visits related to the economy with 27 percent.

Pundits attribute the falling frequency to North Korea's increased confidence towards

its state power.

Among the regime's government officials, Jo Yong-won, the vice director of the ruling

party's central committee, who is also known as Kim's shadow, had the most public appearances

with 34.

Top military official Hwang Pyong-so also was seen frequently during the regime's public

activities, but since October, his whereabouts has been concealed.

Kim Jong-un SLASHES public appearances in 2017 amid rumours North Korea dictator is ILL - Duration: 3:49.

Kim Jong-un SLASHES public appearances in 2017 amid rumours North Korea dictator is ILL

The number of visits carried out by plummeted by nearly 30 per cent compared with 2016, with the largest proportion of this year's appearances dedicated to weapons and military inspections.

The fall in his public profile follows reports he is unwell, with the despot's weight fluctuating wildly in recent months and some of his appearances being characterised by his sweaty and uneasy appearance.

On a visit to a shoe factory Kim, branded "little rocket man" by President Donald Trump, appeared off balance and his face was covered in sweat.

He was forced to take a seat on a folding chair in another visit which saw him struggling again.

South Korean politician Lee Cheol-woo said: "He keeps a close tab on any potential threats to his power, including the military, and he is obsessed with ensuring his personal safety.

"Because of his habitual binge eating and drinking, he is likely to develop adult lifestyle diseases.". It has been claimed he is suffering from gout, diabetes, heart disease and hypertension, with potentially fatal results.

The lavish lifestyle of a dictator has been blamed for his ill health with Kim gorging himself on luxurious food while his people starve.

He is known to have an appetite for expensive cheese, beer and fish which are specially imported into the prison state for him. Tours of weapons facilities and other military visits made up 44 per cent of Kim's outings.

Visits relating to the economy tumbled as preparations for war stole focus and sanctions began to hurt business with not a single appearance in August related to the nation's flagging trade.

The total number of visits also dropped with just 93 made from January 1 to December 28 compared with 133 in the same period last year.

News of Kim's dwindling public visits follows revelations that he is under pressure to jump-start North Korea's economy despite tough sanctions from the UN.

Speaking of Kim Jong-un, senior analyst at the US-based CNA Corp Ken Gause said: He can claim victory in 2017 because of the progress on the nuclear deterrent.

He will have to begin to show progress on the economy in order to nail down his bona fides as a strong leader. Unlike his father and grandfather, Kim Jong-uns legitimacy is tied closely to policy success..
