South Korea Reports Kim Jong Un Is
'Alive and Well' Amid Rumors of His Death South Korea has told CNN that the rumors of
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's death are untrue. The statement was given by Moon Chung-in, the top foreign
policy advisor to South Korea’s President, Moon Jae-In. Moon Chung-in,
to CNN South Korea’s statement comes amid
mounting speculations surrounding the
North Korean leader’s health. The United States has reportedly been
monitoring intelligence that he was left “in grave
danger” after a cardiovascular procedure. A Hong Kong broadcast network
claimed a “very solid source” had confirmed his death. Meanwhile, a Japanese magazine,
'Shukan Gendai,' reported he was in a
“vegetative state," citing an unnamed
member of his medical team. As of now, it is nearly impossible to receive a confirmed
report on the matter as North Korea has no free press and
tightly controls information pertaining to the country.
