PARTY yachts used by Kim Jong-un have been spotted off the coast of his Wonsan resort fuelling speculation he is isolating from coronavirus.
The North Korean dictator has not been seen in public since April 11 sparking reports he is gravely ill or even dead.
According to satellite imagery by NK Pro, the boats made unusual moves around April 14 during the rogue state’s last missile test.
This would suggest that Kim was in the area as there is a high correlation between luxury vessel movements in Wonsan and the leader’s presence, the outlet claims.
Further analysis shows similar boat movements at a villa in Wonsan and a nearby island close to the Kalma peninsula which align with the despot’s appearances in previous summers including last year.
NK Pro has successfully confirmed Kim’s presence in and around Wonsan, which is in the east of the country, on 11 of the last 17 occasions he has visited since 2016.
The outlet’s sister site NK News claims the main 60-metre leisure boat in the images was the same vessel used during a visit by NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman.
As millions of North Koreans starve, the despot’s guests at Wonsan dine on the finest imported food like lobsters, scallops and French cheeses and wash it down with bottles of champagne.
Former Chicago Bulls star Rodman – who has struck up a bizarre friendship with the dictator – talked about the party resort comparing it to Spanish island Ibiza.
He said: “It’s like going to Hawaii or Ibiza, but he’s the only one that lives there.
“He’s got 50 to 60 people around him all the time – just normal people, drinking cocktails and laughing the whole time.
“If you drink a bottle of tequila, it’s the best tequila.
“Everything you want, he has the best.”
Guests of Kim are given rooms decorated with imported antique furniture, paintings and tapestries.
His seaside party pad – close to the port of Wonson – has its own marina and secluded bays patrolled 24 hours a day by heavily armed troops.
Jet skis, yachts and speed boats are moored under covers at the marina.
The North Korean leader’s so-called “pleasure train” turned up last week in Wonsan after the despot vanished from the public eye.
The luxury locomotive was seen in satellite images – and will now surely be tracked by Western spy agencies eager for news on his condition after claims he was dead.
The train is understood to carry Kim’s armoured Mercedes, sometimes accompanied by another armoured vehicle carrying his personal mobile toilet.
The 20-carriage beast boasts a lounge lined with pink leather sofas, a modern conference room and office with satellite TV, and a galley to rustle up the finest cuisine.
And it is reported to be packed with beautiful “lady conductors” – taken from the ranks of Kim’s hand-picked “Pleasure Brigade”.
The tubby tyrant is understood to have launched a recruitment drive for “tall and beautiful” girls in 2015.
The woman are said to be examined by a doctor to check if they are still virgins.
