He's been strangely absent since at least last April, he didn't show up to the torch ceremony in Pyongyang, and didn't show for a military parade in September. A photo was released in November of Kim which supposedly showed him posing with members of the Korean Peoples Army, but it looks like that might well have been shopped.
There's been a lot of reports of strokes and such forth coming out of Japan and China, but as with everything in the DPRK, no hard facts.
