The situation around North Korea’s current leader, Kim Jong-un, remains questionable at best.
Many conflicting reports have come out over the last few weeks claiming that he was either dead or in a coma.
And there has been a lot of speculation on the table as well about his siuster, Kim Yo-jong, taking his place.
The secretive nature of the nation’s government certainly has not made things easier and has fueled various speculative fronts that seem to be growing stronger.
For now, many continue to suspect that the earlier reports, indicating that Kim Jong-un was in poor health, may have been true.
The nation’s leader has not made any public statement, despite the growing concerns over his wellbeing.
The country’s government has decided to attempt to debunk the rumors by publishing photos of their leader, which they claimed were taken recently.
The photos showed him in good health, taking care of business after the country was a hit by Typhoon Bavi.
The photos implied that there was no problem in the situation around him.
However, many have pointed out that this kind of “proof” can be easily faked, and for now, there is no consensus about the state of Kim Jong-un and what lies ahead for him.
There has also been a lot of speculation about what might happen to the country in the event that he does indeed pass away, with many claiming that his sister could be next in line for the leadership position.
Knowing the country’s tricky politics, however, it is not clear at all if that might be the case or if there is something else lined up behind the scenes.
One person had this reaction to the photos: “Bs first they say he’s dead now he’s in a coma; what next he’s actually a Guinea pig, I don’t believe this is really Kim.”
This social media user said the photos were fake or he has been using a body double and added: “Fooled me one time. He been dead, IMO. All recent pictures were stunt doubles. I heard the sister is even crueler than Kim Jong-un but also wicker smart and clever.”
Kim Jong Un is in good health. Never underestimate him!

This observer asked many questions: “Is the Supreme Leader holding water? He looks swollen. May want to get on some fluid pills. Holding water is not good for the body. Or does He have a new hairstyle? The Supreme Leader also looks pale. Maybe get some sun on His skin and absorb the wonderful vitamins we get from the UV rays. I just want to make sure He is healthy. Who is in charge of this? They need to do a better job of keeping the Supreme Leader’s appearance.”
President Donald Trump tweeted his support for the North Korean leader this week.
