Kim Jong Un's Health?
North Korea is a dictatorship that is being run by Kim Jong Un. North Korea has little to no natural resources due to their mountainous terrain and fluctuating climate from summer to winter. Kim Jong Un has no sons or daughters at this point, which means that no one can take over for him if he passes. Due to the fact that North Korea is a relatively new dictatorship, they may not know what to do without a definite leader in line.
In the original article, Kim Jong Un has reportedly been in poor health due to the fact that he was seen with a limp and missed a Legislative Supreme People's Assembly. This was the first time that Kim Jong Un has missed an important meeting discussing North Korea's defense. Ever since Kim Jong Un took over for his father, his health has rapidly deteriorated. Now, an official in North Korea has stated that Kim Jong Un is in fine health, but neglected to explain the limp and the fact that Kim Jong Un missed a meeting. Is North Korea telling the truth about their leader?

I actually have some more info for such topic. The second and third chairs of North Korea had attended some important meetings in South Korea. There was a huge conflict between the two countries which lasted a truly long time. My personal inference is that the committee of North Korea planned this "poor health" event to get rid of the dictatorship which has existed so long.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a piece of important news but not sensational. We can know it as the government did not want their citizens worry about a famous and significant person's health, but I think the most reasonable explanation is they did not want to care about an old person who had no power to manage the whole country.That is the real part of our lives.
