SEOUL - North Korean state media made no mention on Wednesday of new appearances by leader Kim Jong Un, a day after intense international speculation over his health was sparked by his absence from a major celebration last week.

Speculation about Kim's health first arose due to his absence from the anniversary of the birthday of North Korea's founding father and Kim's grandfather, Kim Il Sung, on April 15. On Wednesday, the main headlines from KCNA included pieces on sports equipment, mulberry picking, and a meeting in Bangladesh to study North Korea's"juche" or self-reliance ideology.

On Tuesday, South Korea's presidential Blue House said there were no unusual signs from North Korea, while US President Donald Trump said the reports of Kim's ill health had not been confirmed and he did not give them much credence.
