SEOUL (Yonhap) -- South Korea has seen no unusual signs suggesting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is ill, government officials said Tuesday, after CNN reported that Kim is "in grave danger after a surgery."
"There is nothing unusual going on in North Korea. It's not true," a government official told Yonhap News Agency on condition of anonymity, referring to the CNN report that cited an unidentified "U.S. official with direct knowledge" of the matter.
Presidential spokesman Kang Min-seok also said that nothing unusual has been detected in the North.
"No unusual signs have been identified inside North Korea," Kang said. "There is nothing we can confirm with regard to Chairman Kim's alleged health problem."
The CNN report came after the Daily NK, a South Korean internet news outlet specializing in North Korea news, reported that Kim has been receiving medical treatment at a villa in the resort county of Hyangsan near Mount Myohyang, north of Pyongyang, following a cardiovascular procedure.
"No unusual signs have been found that can back up the alleged health problem," the official said. "North Korea's Workers' Party, the military, the cabinet are not showing any special moves, such as an emergency alert."

From reading that article, it’s anybody’s guess.
May the little toad croak
Fixed it.
It’s on Fox now. Reliable sources say he is in critical condition.
I am inclined to treat the news reports as likely true. During the Cold War, refugee and exile sources often were the first to get the news out. The official policy though seems to be to not aggravate the situation by confirming that Kim is ill.
He’s dead Jim.
https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6150952658001 North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un is reportedly in “grave danger” after undergoing a cardiovascular surgery earlier this month.
When he does die, who will the Chicoms replace him with? Little Rocket Sister?
“No unusual signs in North Korea” = “But our fearless leader has not showed up in ANY public event since mid-March.”
It is true, however, that no one in North Korea has held up any unusual signs in North Korea pointing out this face.
Kim Jong-un brother and sister give the doctor a nod measure office for carpet size.
How ironic would it be if Kim Jong Un was killed by a Communist virus.
Schadenfreudelicious.
I hope so. I love a good NORK funeral procession.
