The 36-year-old leader’s unusual absence at one of the country’s most important events led to multiple reports suggesting Kim was in “grave danger” after botched cardiovascular surgery earlier this month. Some even said he was dead or in a vegetative state.

On the topic of how the information was collected and evaluated, he said this could not be disclosed due to the nature of the information.
