A big news coming from North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly in a coma and his sister Kim Yo-jong will be exercising de facto (real) control over national and international matters, several media outlets said quoting a former aide of South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-jung.
Chang Song-min, who served Kim Dae-jung as a political affairs secretary and as head of the state affairs monitoring office, reportedly claimed in a social media post that no North Korean leader would entrust any of his authority to another person unless he was too sick to rule or was removed through a coup.
“I assess him (Kim Jong Un) to be in a coma, but his life has not ended,” he was quoted as saying by The Korea Herald. “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,” he added.Chang claims to have secured the information from a source in China that Kim is “comatose.”
