According to reports attributed to North Korean state media, the exhibition featured products manufactured by factories across the country. Kim reportedly reviewed the displayed goods and commented on the development of North Korea's light industry.

Because the images were released through official North Korean channels, independent verification of the event remains important. Nevertheless, the available reporting does not provide credible support for the claim that Kim has died.

Has Kim Yo Jong Taken Over North Korea?

Another claim circulating online suggests that Kim Yo Jong, the North Korean leader's sister, has assumed control of the country.

However, there is no credible confirmation that she has taken over the leadership.

Kim Yo Jong is a prominent North Korean political figure who has made public statements on behalf of the country's leadership. Her position has led to recurring international discussion about her political influence and the possibility of future leadership changes.

That discussion should not be confused with evidence of an actual transfer of power.

Without reliable reporting or an authoritative announcement supported by corroborating evidence, claims that Kim Yo Jong has become North Korea's leader remain unverified.

Are Chinese Troops Entering North Korea?

Social media posts have also alleged that Chinese troops have entered North Korea amid speculation about Kim Jong Un's health.

This claim requires separate verification. Rumors about a leader's health do not establish that a neighboring country has deployed military forces or intervened in another nation's political affairs.

As of October 20, 2026, the claims discussed here do not establish that Chinese troops have entered North Korea as part of a leadership crisis.
