Kim Jong Un's health is frequently the subject of speculation, but little concrete is known about the secretive leader. KCNA/via REUTERS/File PhotoSEOUL: South Korea played down a report on Tuesday that the North's leader Kim Jong Un was being treated after surgery, as speculation mounted over his absence from a key anniversary.

In a statement, a spokesman for the South's presidential Blue House said:"We have nothing to confirm and no special movement has been detected inside North Korea as of now." "No one knows what's going on inside North Korea," said Martyn Williams, who is affiliated with the 38 North research website. His powerful sister Kim Yo Jong was named as an alternate politburo member and the meeting called for stronger measures against the coronavirus pandemic.
