Rumors about Kim Jong-un health issues denied by Communist party

According to Bloomberg news agency, President Trump’s government was unsure whether Kim was alive or dead after the surgery, an anonymous employee reported. The White House was unwilling to respond to the rumors.

The Chinese Communist Party denies that the North Korean leader is in a critical condition, according to a member of the diplomatic agency who also wanted to remain anonymous.

South Korea dampened speculation about Kim’s health. An official from the president’s office reported that there were no special signs that Kim was seriously ill.

“We have nothing to confirm and we have not seen any special movements in North Korea.”

Kim, 36, was missing on April 15 to celebrate the birthday of his grandfather Kim Il-sung, a national holiday in North Korea. He had been seen at a government meeting four days earlier.
Heart and vascular disease

South Korean media reported that Kim is being treated after surgery for cardiovascular disease earlier this month. News site Daily NK, which is largely run by defected North Koreans, reports that Kim is rehabilitating in a villa near Mount Kumgang after an intervention on April 12. According to the website, the health of the North Korean leader has deteriorated in recent months due to obesity, heavy smoking and hard work.
