News of Kim Jong Un’s current health state was reported by former South Korea president Kim Dae-Jung’s aide Chang Song-min who said “I assessed him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended.” He also claimed the leader’s sister will temporarily take over as leader despite not being designated as her brother’s successor.

“A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo-jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period,”

“Kim Yo Jong, the first vice department director of the Workers’ Party Central Committee, is steering overall state affairs based on the delegation.”
