Amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas, a statement by North Korea President Kim Jong Un is going viral on social media, in which he is calling American President Joe Biden mad, and also said that we have always heard a lie from Biden about Palestine.
What is the claim made by the user?
A tweet has been made in the Arabic language on social media platform X, from the account running by the name Kim Jong Un. The tweet reads “We have heard nothing from the mad Biden except wild theories in Ukraine and lies on Palestine.” (Translated in English)
Fact Check
To investigate the truth of the viral claim firstly, the DFRAC team analyzed the account of Kim Jong Un in depth. We found that this is a parody account running in the name of Kim Jong Un. In the bio, it was mentioned that it was a parody account. Apart from this, we also searched for this news on the website of North Korea news agency but we didn’t find any such news there. Also, this image of, Kim Jong Un is from the ceremony of donating a 600mm super-large multiple-launch rocket system which was held at the garden of the Workers’ Party of Korea headquarters in Pyongyang, North Korea on December 31, 2022.
This account has been running since 2012. Earlier, the username was @Ladyq8Lad.
Conclusion
Thus, it is clear from the DFRAC’s fact check that the claim stating that Kim Jong calls Biden mad is misleading because that was not his official account but a parody account. Not even a single piece of news has been published in this regard by the official media of North Korea.
