A former aide to South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-Jung, has come out to claim that the North Korean Leader, Kim Jong Un has been in a comatose state for a while now and his sister Kim Yo-jong is set to replace him as the de-facto leader. Chang Song-min made these claims on a social media post, stating that he had a reliable source within china.
Although there has been a lot of speculation concerning the North Korean leader’s health in the recent months, all rumors and hearsay were debunked shortly after when the North Korean leader was seen in public on 11th April presiding over a Worker’s Party meeting and several days later on May 2nd at a stately function, including the commissioning of Fertilizer factory.
However, Chang has come out to further claim that all pictures of Kim released by North Korean state run media are false and nothing more than a ruse designed to keep the questions and any doubts concerning his health and competence at bay.
“I assess him (Kim Jong Un) to be in a coma, but his life has not ended,” Chang explained to media houses, “A complete succession structure has not been formed, so Kim Yo-jong is being brought to the fore as the vacuum cannot be maintained for a prolonged period.”
The former Political affairs secretary to Kim Dae-Jung believes that it would be completely out of character for a North Korean leader to entrust his power and authority to another unless they were very ill or perhaps removed from power through a coup.
Little is known about the Kingdoms second in command-Kim Yo-Jong, but many believe ill leader’s sister to be next in line to the throne although sources claim that she will merely play a huge role in maintaining the country’s international relations, especially with the United States of America and China since the restructuring of power within the country is far from obvious.
