North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s appearance in public has shifted since he came to power over a decade ago.

The White House press secretary said the U.S. was working with North Korean authorities after an American, identified as soldier Travis King, crossed over the military demarcation line while on a tour of the Joint Security Area on Tuesday. Photo: Anthony Wallace/AFP/Getty ImagesSEOUL—The U.S. has successfully negotiated the release of Americans from North Korea in the past, but the circumstances surrounding the detention of a U.S. soldier who dashed across the border last month are different in ways that will likely make the task more challenging this time around.
