金正恩妻子可能怀上二胎据报道，朝鲜最高领导人金正恩的妻子近日出现在公众视线中，穿着和她在 2012 年底生下第一个女儿前所穿的差不多的孕妇装，引发公众猜测她是不是怀上了二胎。 The wife of Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, has appeared in public wearing what appears to be the same maternity dress（孕妇装） she wore shortly before she gave birth to a daughter in late 2012, giving rise to speculation that she is once again pregnant. In a photograph on the front page of the state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper taken at a recent sporting event in Pyongyang, Ri Sol-ju is wearing loose-fitting clothing and appears to have put on weight again. "There have been rumours that Ri is pregnant again for a few weeks now," Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University and an authority on North Korean affairs, told The Telegraph. "This is not really a surprise as Kim needs a son as a successor for the dynasty that has ruled North Korea since it was founded by his grandfather, Kim Il-sung," he said. "It's absolutely impossible that a daughter could take over as leader, so his wife needs to give birth to a son." Formerly the lead singer with the Ponchonbo Electronic Ensemble, Ri has been out of the North Korean spotlight again in recent weeks, similar to how she disappeared from her husband's side a s he carried out "on-the-spot guidance tours" to state farms, industrial facilities and military units during her first pregnancy. As well as fathering a child with Ri, Kim is believed to have another daughter, born in 2010 to a different mother. The birth of Kim's second daughter coincided with a surge in imports of high-end Swiss and German baby products. No photos have emerged of the couple's baby, which analysts attribute to the ongoing three-year period of official mourning for Kim's father, Kim Jong-il, who died in December 2011.
