Kim Jong Un made ten public appearances in February, an approximately twofold increase compared to his six appearances in the previous month. This rise in Kim’s public profile is due to the Korean People’s Army (KPA) founding day and Kim’s visit to Hanoi.

This report covers Kim’s ten public appearances in February (going by media coverage date), plus his ten activities related to the second DPRK-U.S. summit and Vietnam visit reported between March 1 and 5, as these are an extension of his Hanoi visit that began in February.
