Many scoffed at the sudden "disappearance" of Kim Jong Un due to North Korea's silence in the media regarding his whereabouts. They taunted the draconian dictatorship of the government.
However, it is of no surprise to me. What was done in North Korea in this case is called "Denial" or "No Comments" in the West. One doesn't talk, the other talks too much; But they all communicate the same thing.
