And this is why after seven pages, here is my first comment in this thread . The amount of fake news about North Korea is astronomical (much of it being about how this and that person was killed). Tabloids and "anonymous administration sources" can pretty much make up anything and the likes of NBC will take it seriously.
You’re talking about the most secretive regime in the world, one that routinely lies to its people and world governments. If there’s a problem with misinformation about North Korea, it has an easy solution: stop spreading misinformation itself and be honest with people.
That said, I was never convinced Kim was vegetative, but missing the Day of the Sun celebrations is a big ing deal no matter what. Given he was almost certainly chilling outside of Pyongyang, either he had covid or was worried about catching it. That’s very possible at this point.
