North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly fallen into a coma,this coming on the heels that he gave power over to his sister.

Chang Song-Min a former South Korean presidential aid,has alleged the hermit kingdom's honcho has become gravely ill.I assess him to be in a coma,he told SK media,he said Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong he poised to lead the country.

In a closed door meeting,The National Intelligence Service said the power shift partly seeks to relive Kim's stress reign and avert culpability in event of policy failure.

Kim has only been seen in public a handful of times this year after rumors that he is in very bad health after a botched heart operation.

I don't know if this fake news,I don't know how reliable the New York Post is,if this is fake news I apologize.

The New York Post
EDIT:FOX NEWS is also reporting this,there are also reports Kim is dead,but that's unsubstantiated.

I'd be curious if Kim's alive,some less reputable sources have reported his death,no major world news source has substantiated that.

Coma?

Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.

Lol!

Presumably he already eliminated family members who think differently from him so she presumably is his ideological clone, and would continue with his same policies. And become a "Rocket Woman". And continue keeping the country isolated even from China.

That uncle he murdered wanted things like ...more trade with neighbors like China. Thats too sane. Might cause prosperity to break out!

So far, news of Kim Jong-Un's alleged incapacitation have been reported first in tabloids (including Fox News), having originated with the mere speculations of one former official of the South Korean government.  This same official claims he received the news from an anonymous source in China.  Thus, the news cannot be directly verified, and remains only a rumor.

There was his mysterious disappearance this spring and there arre news that he recently delegated more responsibilities to his closest aides, including Kim Yo Jong: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53847400
That suggests his state of health may be very bad.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely his death would do any good to North Koreans or the world.

Kim died in March and they found a double. What took them so long was fattening the double. [/not serious]

It would not surprise me if it was true.

I heard the Supreme Leader died after a botched procedure for something related to his heart a couple months ago.

Where did you hear it?  Who was speaking?  What exactly did they say?  How would they know?

The guardian has reported the botched heart op but the bbc says it is just rumour.

Nothing has been confirmed.

The only thing we know is that he has not been seen for a while and his sister has been more invovled.

Nothing else.

Exactly.  It's amazing how often people will assume rumor as fact with barely any verifiable clues at all.

Yes, and the fact he is allowing his sister to have more power does suggest something more ominous is afoot but what?, nobody knows yet.

Something is happening/or happened - this is all we know.
