North Korean state media debunks death rumors with new photos of Kim Jong Un

North Korean state media published photographs showing Kim Jong Un inspecting a clothing exhibition with his daughter, contradicting recent unverified claims that the leader had died in Beijing. The rumors began with social-media posts, reported by Türkiye Today, alleging the leader suffered a brain hemorrhage and was in a coma.

The Economic Times later cited unverified claims that Kim Jong Un had died, that his sister Kim Yo-jong had assumed power, and that 9,000 Chinese troops were deployed to Pyongyang. Snopes noted that fact-checking organizations could not locate any credible evidence supporting the death reports.
