A senior Blue House official said on the 22nd, regarding North Korea's lack of response to the rumors about Kim's health, "It does not seem appropriate to officially comment on the Blue House's reaction," adding, "however, we stated yesterday that no unusual developments have been identified within North Korea, and that position remains valid today."



The senior Blue House official also addressed media reports claiming that Kim is in Wonsan, North Korea, saying, "I cannot confirm whether he is in Wonsan or elsewhere. Similarly, it is even more difficult to comment on whether he has undergone surgery. However, as I mentioned yesterday, no unusual developments have been identified."
