South Korea Claims Intelligence Information Says Kim Jong-un Is Fine

JAKARTA - In a closed forum held on Sunday April 26, South Korean (South Korean) Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul, said his government had the intelligence capability to say with full confidence that there was no indication of anything unusual being experienced by Supreme Leader Kim. Jong-un.

Yeon-chul's statement as Minister overseeing engagement with North Korea (North Korea) is important. Previously, rumors and speculation regarding Kim Jong-un's health occurred after he failed to appear in public on the country's important anniversary on April 15, the birthday of his grandfather, Kim Il-sung. From that day until today, Kim Jong-un has not seen the bridge of his nose.

South Korean media last week reported that Kim Jong-un may have undergone cardiovascular surgery or is in isolation to avoid exposure to COVID-19. Launching Reuters, Monday, April 27, Yeon-chul doubts the reports related to the operation.

The reason is that the hospitals mentioned in the circulating appendix do not have the capability for such operations. However, Yoon Sang-hyun, chairman of the foreign and unification committee at the South Korean National Assembly, said that Kim Jong-un's absence from the public eye shows "he has not been working as usual."

"There haven't been any reports showing that he made his usual policy decisions since April 11, which leads us to assume that he is sick or isolated due to the coronavirus problem," Yoon.

The North Korean government has previously admitted that its country has no confirmed cases of COVID-19. However, some international experts have cast doubt on that claim.

North Korean state media have so far not shown any recent photos of Kim Jong-un or reports of his whereabouts. However, they broke the news that Kim Jong-un delivered a message of gratitude to the workers building a tourist resort in Wonsan, an area where some South Korean media reports said Kim Jong-un was located.

"The position of our government is firm. Kim Jong-un is alive and well. He has been living in the Wonsan area since April 13. So far no suspicious activity has been detected," said Moon Chung-in, South Korean President Moon Jae's top foreign policy adviser. in.

Since the rumors of Kim Jong-un's death spread, the South Koreans have confirmed that their intelligence knows that Kim Jong-un is still alive and is likely to emerge soon. But on the other hand, experts continue to warn that the dictator's leader disappearing from state media coverage is not uncommon.

The maze in the news has also become increasingly serious considering that gathering accurate information from North Korea is a very difficult action.
