North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is 'alive and well', a South Korean official has said.
Foreign policy adviser Chung-in Moon said his government's position is firmly that the despot is not dead.
The aide said Kim had been living in the Wonsan area of the country since April 13, adding to Fox: 'No suspicious movements have so far been detected.'
Rumours of his death emerged from the vice director of Hong Kong Satellite Television Shijian Xingzou, who claimed a 'very solid source' told her Kim was dead.
She has 15million followers on Chinese social media Weibo, and is also the niece of one of the country's foreign ministers.
Separately, a Japanese media outlet claimed Kim was in a 'vegetative state' after he underwent heart surgery earlier in the month.
The despot has not been seen publicly since April 11 when he led a meeting of the ruling Workers' Party committee of policy makers, North Korean state media said.
But Chung-in Moon's comments appear to have poured cold water on the astonishing claims that he had passed away.
North Korean defectors agree, saying it is hard to believe the information would be leaked by his trusted aides.
Joo Sung-ha, a North Korean defector turned journalist, said in a Facebook post reported by the New York Times that it was reasonable to believe Kim had health problems, but that he had zero trust in reports why the leader has faced a medical emergency. 'The health of the Kim family is the secret among secrets,' he said.
Thae Yong-ho, a former North Korean diplomat who also defected, said it was hard to believe any reliable information about Kim had been leaked by his most trusted aids.

The Dear Leader was dead but he got better.
“How is Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg doing?”

He’s a vegetable on a Vent until they figure out what to do.
I have an ultra-reliable source who told me that Kim was seen having breakfast this morning with Jeffrey Epstein.
So NK is saying their beloved leader is alive. Ok I’ll buy that. Is he a vegetable on machines? He would then still be alive in body. Read the words.
I guess Sister Evil Tart will have to wait some more for ultimate power.

I need a second cup of afternoon coffee. At first glance I thought that said Wisconsin area of the country.
This guy probably knows as much about Kim’s condition as the janitor in Kim’s presidential palace.
