New York Post • • world
Key Points:
- North Korea released new photos of Kim Jong Un inspecting shoes and women's clothing, aiming to counter recent rumors of his death from a brain hemorrhage.
- The images show Kim actively engaging at a garment and footwear exhibition, though the timing of the photos remains unverified.
- Rumors of Kim's death originated from a US-based Chinese dissident who claimed Kim suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, was treated in Beijing, and died, but no concrete evidence supports these allegations.
- Speculation about Kim's health and potential succession by his sister, Kim Yo Jong, intensified, but North Korean state media has not directly addressed the death reports.
- Kim’s health has been under scrutiny due to obesity-related risks, but South Korean intelligence reported no significant signs of ill health prior to the rumors; previous death claims have also proven false.
