Kim Jung Gone? Controversy Over The Health Status Of North Korea’s Supreme Leader

By Uche Mbah
President Kim Jung Un, the chubby diminutive president of North Korea, has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons: He is rumored to be dead. In the end, only the state media can confirm it-and they are not telling.
Pictures are flooding the social media depicting the funeral of the man president Trump called the little Rocket Man, but they were found to photoshop of the funeral of his father. Both his father and grandfather died of heart disease.
And that is the crust of the matter. Since Kim disappeared from public glare, rumors that came from South Korea was that he collapsed while on a state function due to an alleged heart attack, and was taken to a hospital nearby, but died after a botched surgery. He is said to have his own heart doctor following him about, with his own security details.
Then a North Korean defector insisted he was injured during a missile test, according to the British Sun.
In an apparent bid to prove he is alive, the North Korean government released what they described as a thank you letter to builders working at a construction site in Wonsan.
The US claims they are still investigating his whereabouts.
Kim was last seen at the meeting of the ruling working party to discuss the prevailing coronavirus Pandemic. That was on April 12. Subsequently, he was conspicuously absent at the memorial of his father, generally referred to as the day of the Sun.
China claims that he is in a vegetative state, but various people insist that he is dead. A Chinese journalist is quoted as saying authoritatively that Kim is dead. Shijian Xingzou has about 15 million followers on Weibo, a Chinese equivalent social media channel to Facebook. She is a niece to the Chinese Foreign minister.
