North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is reportedly in a coma and his sister Kim Yo-jong will be exercising de facto control over national and international matters, several media outlets reported.
The 36-year-old, who reportedly handed over some powers to his sister three days ago, “is in a coma, but his life has not ended,” Change Song-min, a former aide to South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-jung, told local media outlets, The Mirror reports.
Over the weekend it was reported by CNN that South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) informed the hermit country’s top politicians that Ms Yo-jong is now “de-facto second in command”.
