Ask what Korea is talking about.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) reported to the parliamentary intelligence committee on Oct. 23 that social media rumors of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's death are false, Yonhap reports. The agency reportedly assessed the rumors as baseless, noting no unusual signs, and described Kim as having "extreme obesity" in the 140kg range, according to the Hankyoreh. Korean media coverage focuses on the official denial, with outlets like the Korea Economic Daily noting the NIS's closed-door briefing to lawmakers.
