North Korea’s Kim Jong Un’s Health Critical

There has been a lot of speculation about Kim Jong Un. Watch our video for all the details.

North Korea is a very closed society. It’s very hard to know what’s really going in North Korea. Kim Jong Un is the supreme leader of North Korea and people think of him as god. All decisions about North Korea are made by him. North Korea has no free press, all newspapers, news channels are fully controlled by the government. If countries around the world want to know what’s happening in North Korea they have to depend on propaganda videos released by North Korea. 

For a long time the American government has been working hard to collect information about North Korea to know what is happening there. This is because North Korea has the world’s strongest nuclear weapons. Now as per reports of the American intelligence, Kim’s health is extremely critical. Rumours about his health began on April 15. 

15th April is an important day North in Korea and is called the Day of the Sun. Every year, satellite launches and military parades mark this occasion. On this day Kim was not present for the function. Also Daily NK, a South Korean online news website that focuses on North Korea said Kim underwent a cardiovascular surgery on April 12 due to "excessive smoking, obesity, and overwork".There is no clear information about his health as the government keeps it a big secret. 

For the last 70 years North Korea has been ruled by the Kim family for a long time. None of Kim Jong-un’s children are old enough to rule. He has one older brother and a sister. It could be one of them but nothing is for sure.
