The governments of Netherlands, China, the United States, and a fourth unnamed country provided emergency humanitarian assistance to protect the family, the group, called Cheollima Civil Defense, said in a statement released on Wednesday along with the video. An official at South Korea's National Intelligence Service said the man in the video is Kim Han Sol, the 21-year-old son of Kim Jong Nam, who was killed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13.
During the 40-second video posted on Wednesday, the man says his father was killed a few days ago. "I'm currently with my mother and my sister...," he said, without disclosing his location or who he was living with. "We hope this gets better soon," he added.
Kim Han Sol is the son of Kim Jong Nam's second wife, who had been living in the Chinese territory of Macau with Kim under Beijing's protection after the family went into exile a several years ago.
