KCNA releases photos of Kim Jong Un amid hospitalisation rumours

Official photos of DPRK leader

North Korea's state news agency KCNA released photographs showing DPRK leader Kim Jong Un attending a clothing and footwear exhibition in Pyongyang. This publication came amid the spread of rumours about his hospitalisation and a possible cerebral haemorrhage.

Origin of the rumours

Earlier, the British tabloid The Sun disseminated the relevant reports, citing posts on social media. However, the information provided is not a confirmed medical diagnosis, and the report does not cite independent evidence of Kim Jong Un's hospitalisation.

Assessment of the situation

The photographs released by KCNA indicate that North Korean state media showed the country's leader at a public event. At the same time, the mere appearance of the photos does not allow for conclusions to be drawn about his health condition.
