North Korean leader's health is in a question

A question about North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un's health sparked as he was absent during a celebration marking the anniversary of the birthday of his grandfather, the nation’s founder, Kim Il Sung.

Reports said that Supreme leader was in “grave danger after a surgery”. Chinese media reported that China sent a special medical team to advise on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Pyongyang was silent on the situation while US president Trump denied the reports calling them "fake" news.

Experts suggest that Kim’s sister Kim Yo Jong would fulfil the role of supreme leader if the speculations about his health are true as all eyes have turned to Kim Yo Jong, as his most likely successor, handing over the long-lasted male-dominant Kim dynasty to a woman.
