A man walks past TV monitors displaying a news program at an electronic shop in Seoul, South Korea, Tuesday, October 14, 2014, showing a North Korean newspaper with a photo of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un smiling, reportedly during his first public appearance in five weeks in Pyongyang, North Korea. Kim has made his first public appearance in five weeks, smiling broadly and supporting himself with a cane while touring the newly built Wisong Scientists Residential District and another new institute in Pyongyang, state media reported Tuesday, ending an absence that drove a frenzy of global speculation that something was amiss with the country's most powerful person. The writing reads “Honorable Kim Jong Un”. (Photo by Ahn Young-joon/AP Photo)
