North Korea’s Kim Jong is in ‘grave danger’, claims US

The US is monitoring intelligence that North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, is in grave danger after a surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge.

Officially, Jong-Un is receiving treatment after undergoing a cardiovascular procedure early this month, a South Korean media report says, amid speculation over his health after his absence from a key anniversary event.

North Korea marked the anniversary of the birthday of its founding father and Kim’s grandfather, Kim Il Sung, as a national holiday on April 15, but Kim was not seen in attendance.

The diminutive dictator’s health has deteriorated in recent months due to heavy smoking, obesity and overwork, the report said.

South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs, said it couldn’t confirm the reports.

Noteworthy, North Korea has imposed even tighter restrictions than usual because of the coronavirus pandemic – although it claims to have no cases.

The dictator’s death or incapacitation would likely result in a power struggle because Kim has not specifically named a successor.

Among those who are seen as likely candidates who may try to take the top leadership position are Kim’s sister, Kim Yo-Jong.

She was named as an alternate member of the politburo at the April 11 meeting where Kim was last seen in public, and has represented the North Korean government in dealings with the South.
