No one outside of Pyongyang seems to know for sure. Word yesterday was he may have a bad case of gout. But he missed the big day of celebration today, So Kim Jong Un may be the Un-dictator.
It should probably be noted that Kim Jung Il would sometimes disappear from the public eye for a couple months as if saying, “Come at me if you want, I can disappear on a whim.” Probably be convenient to pull some similar shenanigans and give his ankles a break from that weight.
This is a very strange story. The last video of him was him limping across a stage. The North Koreans are very secretive about him and pretty much everything that goes on there. My curiosity is killing me. :)
