When will (recent) pictures of Kim Jong-Un be released?

Settled as In 2010 or later, or never

We still haven't seen any photos.

Background:

Background: Kim Jong-Un has been named as Kim Jong-Il's successor but little is known about him and there have been no pictures of him as an adult. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8078324.stm)

When will pictures be released (preferably from the official Korean News Agency)? Those pictures would be posted here: http://kns-photo.com/index.php (or roughly translated into English: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkns-photo.com%2Findex.php&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=)

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source (or KCNA photo service as linked in background)

Category Editor Clarification: For purposes of settlement, the term 'recent' here means any verified, newly-released photograph of Kim Jong Un clearly taken as an adult.

A friend pointed out to me that 'recent' is somewhat un-defined. My point was for the release of pictures of him as an adult since the article said there were no pictures of him as an adult.
