What’s the story with Kim Jong Un?
The North Korean leader missed a high-profile public look previously this month– and after that murky, unproven reports emerged about his health.
On Tuesday, North Korea’s leader was apparently recovering from a cardiovascular treatment, according to South Korean media.
But particular information about his condition are uncertain and unproven — and North Korea is widely known for suppressing and distorting news inside its borders.
On April 15, Kim was notably missing from a celebration of the nation’s most important holiday the “Day of the Sun,” which marks the birthday of his grandfather Kim Il Sung, the founder and very first dictator of Communist North Korea.
The Daily NK, an online news periodical based in Seoul and run mostly by North Korean defectors, reported that Kim was recovering from surgery, which occurred on April 12, at a coastal resort.
He ‘d remained in poor health due to heavy smoking, exhausting and obesity, according to the outlet.
