Rumors regarding the death of Kim Jong Un shook the world

Information circulating about Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea, the world's most closed-off state, has caused a major uproar in the international community. Claims are circulating on social media platforms and in a number of foreign media outlets that the leader has fallen into a coma as a result of a severe brain hemorrhage, or has even passed away.

This information has not yet been confirmed by official Pyongyang. The closed-off stance of the North Korean authorities in the information sphere creates fertile ground for the spread of such rumors and the increase of various hypotheses. This situation surrounding the leader's health is currently one of the most discussed topics on the global agenda.

International experts and intelligence agencies have not yet expressed a definitive position on the matter. Kim Jong Un's prolonged absence from the public eye had caused similar claims to come to the agenda in past years as well. However, the fact that this time the news directly involves the possibility of death has drawn even more attention.

The North Korean government usually acts very cautiously regarding issues related to the leader's health and prefers to issue statements only through official channels. At the present moment, the world media is awaiting an official statement from Pyongyang.
