It seems everything is a mystery when it comes to the most closed and secretive dictatorship in the world.

After rumors that she was either pregnant or being held on house detention to punish her for her "cheerful demeanor," the wife of North Korea’s new leader has appeared in public for the first time in two months.

Ri Sol-ju, who wed Kim Jong-un earlier this year, has already been spotted at two events this week.

She was filmed attending a football match and a concert with her husband.

According to KCNA, the country’s official news agency, the couple "drew a thunderous cheer from the audience" when they were seen at the concert together on Monday night.

Film footage from the event shows Sol-ju wearing an elegant long, cream jacket pulled together across her stomach with a matching strap.

Sol-ju’s return has ended weeks of speculation that the newlywed was either pregnant or being disciplined for her cheerful demeanor by state elders who prefer Jong-un and his wife to look more dour in public.
