The talk of Seoul today is all about the 24-year-old
ex-singer-turned-first lady of North Korea, Ri Sol-Ju, who was
officially mentioned by North Korean TV on Wednesday as the "comrade
wife to Marshall Kim Jong Un."
A new video was aired today of the two walking arm-in-arm, a rare
lovey-dovey image which analysts in Seoul say is aimed to make North
Korea's young leader appear "stable and fatherly."
But what has attracted the most attention in Seoul today is her beauty and sense of fashion. She wore colorful green, burgundy, and yellow outfits, polka dot patterns, open-toe pumps, and even a chic brooch on one of her dresses. North Korean women usually wear their traditional costume, or monotone black or gray suits to public events.

"I was surprised because she was so up-to-date in fashion. My friends
think she's very pretty too," said Hyun-Sun Kim, 22, a nurse.
"I think Ri Sol Ju possesses a classic traditional Korean beauty, a
round face and clean skin," said Edward Han, 52, a South Korean
businessman. "And she's got that image of an obedient wife which sure
would be popular among the elders especially."
