Seoul (CNN) Kim Jong Un’s absence from public view has prompted speculation about his health and fears for the stability of North Korea.
Rumors and unconfirmed reports about Kim’s condition have circulated since he missed celebrations for his grandfather’s birthday on April 15.
Despite these reports, South Korea says there is nothing unusual happening in North Korea.
Kim’s health is a closely guarded secret, and it is not unusual for him to disappear from the public eye for extended periods of time.
The North Korean regime has a history of secrecy and propaganda, making it difficult to verify the accuracy of reports about Kim’s health.
Some experts believe Kim is simply taking precautions against COVID-19, while others speculate that he may be facing a more serious health issue.
The uncertainty surrounding Kim’s health has raised concerns about the potential power struggle that could occur in North Korea if he were to become incapacitated.
