金正恩童年照曝光

Rare new photographs of Kim Jong-un as a young boy have emerged during a concert for the North Korean air force.

Pictures showing the 31-year-old North Koreanleader as a chubby toddler, saluting while in uniform, were shown on KCTV, the country's state broadcaster.

Other photographs showed him first as a young boy, then as a rotund teenager, at the controls of an aeroplane.

Until now, only a handful of pictures of Kim as a young boy have been seen, one showing him with his mother, Ko Yong-hui, and one a seeming passport picture, in which he has a bowl haircut.

Only one photograph is known to exist from his days as a student, which shows him on what appears to be a school trip with fellow pupils at the International School of Berne, in Switzerland.

Kim kept his identity secret from students and teachers. Using name of Pak Un, Swiss authorities were told that Kim was the son of an employee at North Korea’s embassy when he enrolled in August 1998.

Friends have said he was “obsessed” with basketball and showed “absolutely no interest” in politics.

As the photographs emerged, South Korea warned that the North could be planning a fourth nuclear test to ramp up tensions ahead of President Obama's upcoming visit to Seoul.

"Our military is currently detecting a lot of activity in and around the Punggye-ri nuclear test site," said Kim Min-seok, a spokesman for the Defence ministry.據英國媒體4月22日報道，朝鮮中央電視臺21日實況轉播慶祝朝鮮空軍音樂會，舞臺背景很罕見地出現了金正恩童年和少年時期的照片。

畫面顯示，童年金正恩身着軍裝，頭戴軍帽的照片，其中一幅圖片顯示他正在敬禮。還有照片顯示了他在少年時期手握飛機操縱桿的形象。

在此之前，僅有幾張金正恩幼年照片被公開，其中一張是與其母高英姬(Ko Yong-hui)的合影，另一張則看似證件照。

而金正恩學生時期的照片僅有一張公開，照片中他與瑞士伯爾尼國際學校的同學們一起出遊。

據瞭解，金正恩上學期間一直未向老師和同學公開真實身份。1998年入學時，瑞士官方僅被告知他是朝鮮使館某僱員之子。

據朋友介紹，金正恩“癡迷於”籃球，看上去對政治“毫無興趣”。

目前韓國警告稱由於奧巴馬即將訪問韓國，爲製造緊張局勢，朝鮮或正爲第四次核試驗做準備。

韓國國防部新聞發言人表示，“根據我軍監測，目前朝鮮核試驗基地豐溪里附近活動頻繁。”
