North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is in a “vegetative state” after he underwent heart surgery earlier this month, a Japanese magazine says.
The weekly Shukan Gendai reported Friday that a Chinese medic sent to North Korea as part of a team to treat Kim believed a delay in a simple procedure left the leader severely ill, Reuters reported.
North Korean media hasn’t mentioned Kim’s health or whereabouts, even though reports by other media have sparked international speculation about his well-being.

Kim Jong Un in 'vegetative state,' Japanese media report says

TMZ is reporting that he's dead yet unconfirmed.


Sure would not want to be his surgeon right about now.

He killed all those people for nothing.
 
So much murder and so much love all for nothing.
 
The idea a Japanese Weekly magazine has the inside scoop on this is very, very doubtful.

Something is clearly going on.

He hasn't been seen in public for awhile and his sister was recently promoted, two pieces of the puzzle that suggest a narrative that there is something up with him to a high degree of probability.

However everyone has picked up this news story without much verification because usually, there is no way to verify stuff like this from the Hermit Kingdom.
 
North Korea will slowly give away details.

Reminds me of an old joke. North Korea today states that Kim Jung Un is reportedly up in a tree and can't get down.
Sorry if you don't know the joke.

I knew it as on the roof and can't get him down. :lamo
 
I'm going to do some wild coronaspeculation here. My theory is that despite closing down early, North Korea is probably getting whacked pretty hard by coronavirus. Once community transmission starts, that country's health system is woefully unequipped to deal with it. Is it possible Kim contracted the virus and has been off sick? In order to avoid sounding 'weak' perhaps his people are leaking counter narratives.

As I said, pure speculation on my part.
 
Apparently the doctors are sent from China so they'll be protected. I doubt NK has the talent for such a complex operation on such a high-level person anyway.

It’s a given that NK doctors don’t have much experience operating on obese North Koreans..........
 
Look, I don't wish someone to die, but this piece of murderous crap, well, I will not shed a lot of tears if he is no longer a threat to this world. But sadly we do not know what kind of crazy idiot is the next in line.

Very good point. The devil you know....

He wasn't that bad of a guy. He reached out to Obama and Trump unlike his father. Kim Jong il caused the massive starvation and food shortage in North Korea.

Was he as bad as some of the idiots before him? Nope, but still a constant threat. Just fearful who is going to step into the boots of this idiotic madman.
 
On the other hand, a train was seen at one of the elite resorts , at a stop reserved for the Kim family. Although pure speculation, it would give an indication that possibly (notice , speculation), he's just at a resort whooping it up.


Train possibly belonging to North Korean leader spotted in resort town: think tank
