I'm sure he wouldn't be missed by many if he succumbed to his illness.

.....an unconfirmed report from you guys.

Because Kim can’t tumble, South Korea will do it instead

A full on sex change probably

Praying for you KimJongUnNuking 🙏🏻 You have always been a friend of realDonaldTrump (aka AMERICA). Thankful for Godly leaders like you and our president. Get well soon ❤️

Brain dead?

AnthoniaOrji Why NOT North Korean currency?

He got Covid19 and he’s hiding it.

Why would South Korean currency tumble when the North korean dictator is seriously ill? What the heck man!

It’s only less than an 1% move.

Well if unintended consequences had a face..

LaneZane1 I think it's called karma, for what he did to the young man, OttoWarmbier.

Strange

Look who’s in bed together.

Firing missals pollution will destroy the lungs.

False flag?

China like

Currency should go up , they can finally get a men as president lol

Interesting- why is South Korea seeing its won and markets failing because that murderous tyrant is possibly on his death bed?

usa finally got its wish.

Possibility of a war that's why

He went for the 4th Big Mac

let me guess:he is infected!!!He is too overweight! realDonaldTrump

Buying opportunities.

Click bait

china will try to claim it

Make sure his hand does not fall on the Ballistic missiles’ button when he dies

No one cares. Let's hope he dies and the regime topples over.

Wouldn’t that be a good thing?

Communist fuck.

Alright Gary!

Amen! Praise God. Devil is dead.

Let the man fake his death and move to America. We've all seen The Interview

It's already known by the streets 5 days ago but the DNI is in a snail pace to enjoy its billions of dollars for well paid salaries and privileges to support wasteful & corrupted projects. The same happened on the coronavirus when CH communicated with the WHO in the US backyard.

Maybe he got the virus

Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다!

Kim Jung ILL?

I pray he pull through.

gamesblazer06 Perhaps Trump will send a 20 pack of Hydroxychloroquine.

1.48% is hardly a tumble.

If that government collapses South Korea would be overrun with refugees in the middle of a pandemic. It would be bad.

So South Korean markets feel any successor would be more hardline towards the South?

Twas a serious mistake making missile adhesive and failing to become a Chinese investment job (not North Korean), POTUS.

Don't worry he'll be fine. All those souls he's devoured giving him Strength.

Why? Should it ha e shot up!

North Korea's currency?

That sounds stupid. Why would the South Korean currency go down?

I don't believe this news. He is chubby but can't be that seriously ill
