IS KIM JONG-UN IN COMA? South Korean news on the transfer of power
South Korean diplomatic sources speculate that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has fallen into a coma and that his sister, Kim Yo Jong, is ready to take over the nation. According to the New York Post , Chang Song-min, a former assistant to the late South Korean president Kim Dae-jung, made sensational claims to the South Korean media.
Chang suggested that Kim is in a coma, "but his life isn't over," so he wouldn't be dead yet.
"A complete succession structure has not been created, which is why Kim Yo-jong (the sister) is brought to the fore as the void cannot be maintained for an extended period."
Chang's claims come just days after the South Korean spy agency leaked that the 36-year-old North leader has delegated some of his authority to his close associates, including his younger sister, the agency reported. Yonhap print. In a private meeting with lawmakers last week, South Korea's National Intelligence Service said that "Kim Yo-jong, the first deputy director of the Central Committee Committee of the Workers' Party, is leading the general affairs of the state on the delegation. ”, Although his brother Kim still maintains“ absolute authority ”.
It is not the first time that prolonged periods of absence from public ceremonies create uncontrolled rumors about Kim Jong-un's health situation, rumors that later turned out to be false or in any case exaggerated. for example, last spring he was told of one of his deaths, only to see him reappear in public at the end of April. Unfortunately, the power system in North Korea is extremely closed and does not allow the verification of almost any news, while there is no confirmation about the extent of the spread of the Coronavirus in the country.
