Pardo does not believe the family will be in Macau because he considers it too dangerous. 'They are clearly being watched by North Korea who will most likely be trying to control their movements.' 'I think the whole family are probably in danger, as that's the way North Korea operates,' Ramon Pardo, senior lecturer in international relations at King's College London, tells Newsweek. It is possible that the three are seeking refuge in Europe because the Cheollima Civil Defense group released a statement thanking the governments of China, the Netherlands, the United States and a fourth government 'to remain unnamed.' The Korea Times cites reports suggesting he is under Chinese protection in Macau, though China has made no comment on Han Sol. His mother is Kim Jong Nam's second wife, Lee Hye Kyong, and Han Sol's sister Hol Sul, is 18. Han Sol has gained a place at a college of Oxford University, but reports say he has not yet enrolled on a course there. After high school, he attended Sciences Po in Paris. In a television interview with Finnish channel Yle in 2012, he said it was awkward meeting South Koreans at first, but that 'little by little we started to understand each other… and sometimes we share stories from back home and realise how similar we are: the same language, the same culture,' according to The Guardian. Students live with children from around the world, and Han Sol said he had studied with South Koreans. Kim Han Sol, 21, is believed to be the only son of the deceased Kim Jong Nam and attended the United World College of Mostar, an international school for students aged 17-18, dedicated to promoting peace. The short video ends with: 'We hope this gets better soon.' Nearly three weeks after Kim Jong Nam's murder in Kuala Lumpur Airport, his body still lies in the mortuary, unclaimed by a family member the video is the first comment made by the Kim family since the assassination on February 13. It is unknown where the video was shot though South Korea's Yonhap news agency points out that there is a town near Pyongyang named Cheollima, which may relate to the group that released it. I'm currently with my mother and my sister.' Some of the video has been censored, and he holds up his North Korean passport to verify his identity. In the 40 second clip, posted on YouTube from the account of the little known Cheollima Civil Defense group, he says: 'My father has been killed a few days ago. 'My name is Kim Han Sol, from North Korea, part of the Kim family,' the man says in slightly accented English. A man claiming to be the son of Kim Jong Nam, the murdered brother of North Korean leader, has appeared in a short video clip, confirming the deceased was his father.
