Chang Song-min was a close aide of South Korea’s former President Kim Dae-jung.
While talking to the South Korean media, he said that
North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is in a coma and his sister Kim Yo-jong has assumed power.
Chang has said this without giving any proof.
While the South Korean’s intelligence service has said that
Kim had given some of his authority to his sister to reduce his stress.
There are many such rumours but nothing is for sure yet.
Earlier there were reports that Kim Jong-un was in poor health because of multiple surgeries.
On 1st May, images of Kim Jong-un started circulating where he made an appearance inaugurating a fertilizer company.
However, Chang says these images are fake.
On 26th August today, North Korea’s newspaper Rodong Sinmun,
published a picture of Kim Jong-un attending a meeting
Kim can be seen wearing white suit and smoking a cigarette.
According to the news paper, the meeting was about warnings for the spread of coronavirus
and about preparations to tackle typhoon Bavi which will reach North Korea this week.
Currently North Korea has not reported a single case of COVID-19.
