North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has presented veteran news anchor Ri Chun-hee with a new Pyongyang riverside home, state media reported on April 14, 2022. The apartment complex was completed just before the 110th birthday of Kim Il-sung, North Korea’s late founding ruler. As a television anchor, Ri has delivered some of North Korea’s biggest news over the past 50 years, including the death of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, the current leader’s grandfather and father, respectively.
