Early this week, the KCNA accused Jang of having improper relations with multiple women and having used drugs while wasting hard-earned foreign currency at casinos.
Also grabbing attention is whether or not Kim’s wife Ri Sol-ju will take part in the Dec. 17 event as she might have something to do with Jang’s purge, according to a report by a media outlet in Seoul.
It said that when North Korea executed nine music performers in August in an attempt to squelch rumors that Ri was related to a pornographic video, the North learned of an inappropriate relationship between Jang and Ri.
Members of the Unhasu Orchestra and Wangjaesan Art Troupe were said to have been killed because they were suspected of producing and appearing in a pornographic video. On Aug. 17, the nine were arrested and three days later, executed by firing squad at a training ground of a military academy on the outskirts of Pyongyang.
Ri was a singer with the Unhasu Orchestra before she married Kim Jong-un in June 2012. The fact that Ri has not been seen at the official events over the past 50 days also raise suspicions. Last year, Ri stood next to Kim Jong-un to commemorate the first anniversary of Kim Jong-il’s death.
