The Blue House spokesperson has denied the rumours concerning Kim Jong-un's health and there is no evidence of his sister taking charge of the nation.The North Korea News and the Yonhap News Agency article had reported that Blue House spokesperson Kang Min-Seok said that there were no irregularities found concerning Kim Jong-un’s health as reported by some media outlets.

The Yonhap News Agency further added that those rumours were compounded by a report from CNN, citing an unnamed U.S. intelligence operation.

The Associated Press News article had explained that due to speculations on Kim Jong-un's health condition, it was believed that Kim Yo-jong would be in-charge of North Korea’s propaganda affairs after his death. It added that analysts said that North Korean politics and the three hereditary power transfers have been male-centred and that it would be difficult to overcome the challenges for Kim Yo-jong.

However, there is no evidence to prove that Kim's sister would become in-charge of North Korea and that Kim Jong-un is ill since the Blue House spokesperson has denied the rumours about his health.
