[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Kim Se-yeon, a member of the Future United Party, expressed the view that an apology is necessary regarding the remarks made by Tae Young-ho, a Future United Party elected member, and Ji Seong-ho, a Future Korea Party elected member, about North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un's health issues.

On the 4th, Kim appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "The 99% certainty of death, such remarks seem to have been somewhat overconfident. That part seems to have gone too far. In the case of Tae Young-ho, it seems the problem was with the interview content with CNN. As far as I know, even during that interview, it was continuously stated that information about Kim Jong-un's personal status is top secret, and even the Foreign Minister does not know about it."

He continued, "In response to the CNN reporter's question, the answer might have been just a general observation or speculation, like whether he was walking or unable to stand. That part seems to be more of a passing answer rather than a precise analysis, and it appears somewhat excessive."

Kim said, "They might make their own statements soon, so it would be better to wait," and when asked if he thought an apology was necessary, he replied, "I think it is necessary."
