The Presidential Office in South Korea has replayed the latest news from CNN that Kim is “in serious danger” after an operation. The South Korean news portal “Daily NK” had previously reported, citing an informant in the neighboring country, that Kim had undergone a heart surgery on April 12. He recovered after an operation.
On Sunday, Fox News quoted South Korean President Moon Chung-in as saying that Kim was “alive and well”. Kim has been in Wonsan since April 13. There is no reliable knowledge of the situation in North Korea, which is largely isolated from the outside world. The Pyongyang tour usually controls the information about Kim and his family very strictly.
Appreciation for workers
After all, there was a statement in North Korea’s state media on Sunday. According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, neighboring state television reported that Kim had expressed appreciation for workers who built houses in the northern border town of Samjiyon.
The reports of a supposedly serious illness of Kim, who is only in his mid-30s, have caused a stir internationally for days. There is only silence about this from his internationally rather isolated country. This doesn’t just fuel speculation about Kim’s well-being. Meanwhile, the question of who could follow the youngest ruler of the dictator family is also being discussed.
At the weekend, satellite images finally showed up showing Kim’s private train on the east coast of North Korea. These recordings gave weight to reports that Kim was “in an area for the elite on the country’s east coast”. The train may have arrived at a station reserved for the Stalinist leadership before April 21. He was still there on April 23, reports 38 North.
