North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is 'alive and well', a South Korean official has said.
Foreign policy adviser Chung-in Moon said his government's position is firmly that the despot is not dead.
The aide said Kim had been living in the Wonsan area of the country since April 13, adding to Fox: 'No suspicious movements have so far been detected.'
Rumours of his death emerged from the vice director of Hong Kong Satellite Television Shijian Xingzou, who claimed a 'very solid source' told her Kim was dead.
She has 15million followers on Chinese social media Weibo, and is also the niece of one of the country's foreign ministers.
Separately, a Japanese media outlet claimed Kim was in a 'vegetative state' after he underwent heart surgery earlier in the month.
The despot has not been seen publicly since April 11 when he led a meeting of the ruling Workers' Party committee of policy makers, North Korean state media said.
But Chung-in Moon's comments appear to have poured cold water on the astonishing claims that he had passed away.
North Korean defectors agree, saying it is hard to believe the information would be leaked by his trusted aides.
Joo Sung-ha, a North Korean defector turned journalist, said in a Facebook post reported by the New York Times that it was reasonable to believe Kim had health problems, but that he had zero trust in reports why the leader has faced a medical emergency. 'The health of the Kim family is the secret among secrets,' he said.
Thae Yong-ho, a former North Korean diplomat who also defected, said it was hard to believe any reliable information about Kim had been leaked by his most trusted aids.

Perhaps the rumors of his being alive are greatly exaggerated.
Cracking up at your post.

Where did my health regimen get offtrack?

It’s hard to know! All we can say for sure is that rumors of his tall, thin physique have been greatly exaggerated.
Dear Jim Robinson, PLEASE consider adding an “I like this post A LOT” button to this site. I urgently need it for this reply. Thanks, much.
Excellent point. I’ll see you and raise you.
South Korea isn’t terribly interested in reunification because integrating backward, impoverished North Korea into their vibrant economy would be a disaster.
I read an interesting book a few years back about a North Korean defector and the hard time he had adjusting to freedom. I can’t find it just now in my reading log, but no doubt it’s still in our public library ... if it ever reopens.
I hope the fat little Rocket Man makes it. Better the devil you know.
Besides, the biggest threat to our nation’s freedom isn’t Kim, it isn’t Xi, it isn’t Putin, and it certainly isn’t a bunch of towel heads.
It’s the enemy within ... Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, AOC and their millions of brain-dead followers.
That’s the only thing that scares me just now.
Hillary showing up in the painting at the end and saying “bye bye” (if my lip reading is accurate) is the frosting on the cake.
At first glance I thought that said Wisconsin area of the country. .................................. If someone said Wisconsin, it must have been that old guy running for President.
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with that? :-)
All dictators show up in public to prove the rumors wrong...their ego demands it.
If they can show up (no “Weekend at Bernie’s” stuff).

Still in for diplomatic incidents and embarrassment when he goes to midwestern states.
Where are we now?
Idaho?
No, you da ho.
Then where is he? Is he laying low during the virus?
