Amid tensions escalating in the Korean peninsula, a South Korean diplomat has claimed that North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un has fallen into a coma. These shocking remarks are being made by Chang Song-min, a former aide to South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-jung. Even though Kim is in a coma, Chang assured that he is still alive, and doctors are trying hard to save his life.
As Kim Jong-un is fighting for his life, his sister Kim Yo-Jong will be soon throned to power as the North Korean supreme leader. Recently, it has been claimed that Kim Jong-un has delegated several of his powers to his sister to reduce stress.
In the meantime, Roy Calley, a journalist who shares close connections with Pyongyang has claimed that Kim Jong-un could already be dead. Calley made these remarks while talking exclusively to Express.co.uk.
” I honestly believe he’s dead but you just can’t tell with that country. The fact that there is so much information /misinformation being released suggests there is something happening. With everything else the government is very specific with their statements but never when it comes to the leaders,” said Calley.
This is not the first time that uncertainties regarding Kim Jong-un’s health is puzzling global political experts. A few months back, Reuters had reported that Kim Jong-un was seriously ill following a failed cardiac procedure. Kim, at that time, did not attend the 108th birthday celebrations of his late grandfather, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, and it made many believe that something is not well with the supreme leader.
However, a few days later, Kim made a public appearance in a fertilizer factory near Pyongyang. Later, South Korean government officials also admitted that there was no indication of a medical procedure conducted on Kim’s body.
