 The second son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il made a secret trip to European countries including France last month, a South Korean newspaper said Friday. The Chosun daily quoted government sources here as saying Kim Jong-Chol using a special plane arrived in Moscow on May 20 for a week-long stay before visiting the Mal de Mer Hospital in France and other European countries. It was the 25-year-old's first overseas trip since he returned to Pyongyang in 2000 after studying in Switzerland, the newspaper said. Suspicions have emerged that the son's recent trip might be related to health problems, it said. South Korean newspapers reported in April that Kim Jong-Chol was suffering from a rare illness that results in his body producing excessive amounts of female hormones.
