00:04North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is rumored to have died again.
00:08This time, it means he suffered a severe brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
00:11Then Peking Union Medical College Hospital immediately dispatched a medical team to the scene.
00:15North Korea's Pyongyang goes to rescue
00:17Then, based on the backwardness of local surgical equipment
00:19The medical team quickly transported Kim Jong-un to Beijing for surgery.
00:24Then, because the golden time for rescue was missed...
00:27He died at Peking Union Medical College Hospital after all treatments failed.
00:30The report also stated that Kim Jong-un's body had been returned to North Korea and was currently being secretly distributed.

00:34To avoid unrest in North Korea
00:36Then the authorities also sent 9,000 soldiers to Pyongyang to assist in stabilizing the situation.
00:43right
00:43According to the New York Post
00:46The source of the rumor is Xie Wanjun, a Chinese dissident in exile in the United States.
00:51Just as news of Kim Jong-un's death was spreading like wildfire...
00:55North Korea's state media, KCNA, immediately released the news last Monday.
00:59Kim Jong-un and his daughter's financial backer love to go shopping at malls.
01:03Latest photos of choosing shoes from clothes
01:05Kim Jong-un looks to be in good health.
01:09Although North Korean officials released this new set of photos
01:12There was no mention of the rumors about death.
01:15However, this was still interpreted by the outside world as North Korea taking action to refute the rumors.
01:20However, returning to the matter of rumors circulating about Kim Jong-un's death or critical illness...
01:24Actually, that wasn't the first time.
01:26Those who have followed North Korean news in the past know that...
01:31Rumors about Kim Jong-un's health tend to come and go quickly.
01:34If he doesn't show up for a while...
01:36Similar rumors of death would then appear.
01:39The official announcement will also soon release some information about the events he attended.
01:43Or use photos of interacting with family members to dispel rumors.
01:46So why are there constant rumors that Kim Jong-un is dead?
01:50The BBC has an analysis on that.
01:53Three main reasons were given.
01:54The first thing is definitely his health.
01:57Kim Jong-un, who weighs 140 kilograms
02:01Has a smoking habit
02:02In addition, the Kim family has a history of heart disease and stroke.
02:06This has raised concerns that he may have cardiovascular disease.
02:10and the risk of death
02:12Then there's the issue of succession in the North Korean regime.
02:15The successor to the Kim dynasty is unclear.
02:18Because Kim Jong-un's daughter, Kim Ju-ae, is only 13 years old.
02:22Although South Korean intelligence authorities say that Kim Joo-ae is the heir...
02:25However, North Korea has never had a female supreme leader.
02:30Whether he can successfully seize power is also full of uncertainties.
02:34The third point is that North Korea has a highly closed information system.
02:37It's difficult to verify whether the news is true or false.
02:39North Korea is one of the least transparent countries in the world.
02:42Very few people have the opportunity to have regular contact with Kim Jong-un.
02:45Even the intelligence agencies of various countries
02:47It is also difficult to obtain reliable first-hand information.
02:50Because North Korea is an information black hole
02:53It can easily become a place where fake news spreads frequently.
02:55Ultimately, it comes down to Kim Jong-un's health condition.
02:58The reason why it has attracted so much attention from the outside world
03:01There are also deeper international security considerations.
03:04If he suddenly dies
03:06North Korea may suddenly experience a power vacuum.
03:09It will not only trigger internal factional struggles
03:12It will also affect nuclear weapons control.
03:14Military situation on the Korean Peninsula
03:16and Northeast Asian security
03:18These risks all concern South Korea.
03:20Security interests of China and the United States, among other countries
03:23These countries all have intelligence agencies.
03:26They have been closely monitoring Kim Jong Un's movements.
