Heart-Related Procedure: Intelligence Committee and Official Media

heart-related procedure: Members of South Korea's parliamentary intelligence committee said after a meeting with the National Intelligence Service NIS that the reports were groundless, according to The Japan Times. The NIS assesses that at least he did not get any heart-related procedure or surgery, committee member Kim Byung-kee told reporters. Kim attended the completion of a fertilizer plant, North Korea's official media said Saturday, the first report of his appearing in public since April 11. ; His absence fueled a flurry of speculation about his health and whereabouts, with a South Korean news outlet reporting Kim was recovering from a cardiovascular procedure while CNN said U.S. officials were monitoring intelligence he was in grave danger after surgery. He was normally performing his duties when he was out of the public eye. But the lawmaker said Kim Jong Un only made 17 public appearances so far this year, compared with an average of 50 from previous years, which the NIS ascribed to a possible coronavirus outbreak in North Korea.
