He’s being converted into a cyborg and is going to come back stronger than ever.

[Rayven]

He is 36 but is crying like a child if the world is not thinking about him

[davidr]

He is dead. They are deciding who will take over. His uncle or his sister.

The white horse, is it fine after that ride?

[timmchenry]

Alive and Well and has Abandoned is own People during a Worldwide Pandemic??? What kind of Glorious Leader does that?

[ramudubanu]

Why would he miss his grandfather's memorial celebration, the most important day in his country? Something surely wrong

[seekerp]

Let me summarize the video in 3 words. I don't know.

Stop ignoring Kim jung on, , or else he will not come back again.

North Korea is the last place I would want to have heart surgery.

[tejasaabsaab]

He looks like the white version of Morgan Freeman ? 2.16

[PJNongsiej]

Dead or alive is up to him we can't do any thing.

[rosaspanjol]

Come on!.. bunch of nonsense...that sounds stupid even!...the truth will come out eventually! Either he is dead or he is alive....You can’t keep this secret for ever!

[flugschulerfluglehrer]

Dead! Looks like Ri Son Gwon is going to take over. He has the support of the army. Kim Yo Jong has been elected as a alternative member in the Central Committee not a full member. She is out.

I am sick and tired of all this, and Kim's sick of it also, their is "NOTHING WRONG WITH KIM", he is taking a break, i was talking to him yesterday, after he came back from his 5 mile run, i had a coffee with him, just outside the hotel he is staying at ( Dongmyong Hotel ). He was saying he is getting fed up with it, can't even go for a short break, without people wondering where he is, he said he will be back when he is ready and said when he is back, the next time he goes away, he will announce it to the world so they don't have to worry about him, then Kim said he was off to the gym for his 2 hour workout

[benitoguerrero]

He must be laughing at all of the planet for worrying about him, he's like HaHaHa i threaten you fools all the time and you worry about my well being..
He will show up later launching another rocket and laughing big,
🤣

[pauldelrosario]

[mckanesona]

Seal team 6 prolly took him out during the interview

[youtubete]

Orh so it was temper tantrum all along la icic.. why not disappear forever better?

[jameslangan]

The equestrian community is in shock that the world's most loved and respected Dressage rider is missing. They are concerned he might have overdosed on the drugs that were meant for the horse.

[getreal]

He's alive and well, so don't speculate and quote unverified news !
