Kim Jong Un reportedly in a coma as his sister Kim Yo Jong takes control

NY Post


"North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has fallen into a coma, a former South Korean official is claiming on the heels of reports that the northern leader has ceded over some of his power to his younger sister.
"Chang Song-min, a former aide to late-South Korean president Kim Dae-jung, has alleged that the Hermit Kindom’s honcho has become seriously ill amid speculation about his limited public appearances this year, the Mirror reported.
“ 'I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended,” he told South Korean media.
"The former aide added that the leader’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, was poised to help lead the country.
“ '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,” he said.
"His claims come after South Korean spies revealed that the 33-year-old sibling now serves as his “de facto second-in-command,” though she has not been designated his successor." . . ."
