Speculation about Kim's health began to spread after he apparently skipped his annual visit to the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun on April 15 on the occasion of his late grandfather Kim Il-sung’s birthday.
Unconfirmed media reports have speculated that Kim might be in grave danger following heart surgery, but South Korean officials have repeatedly disputed these suggestions, insisting that no unusual signs have been detected in North Korea.
