CNN broadcasts cited US officials that the US government is watching information that Kim Jong-un is in serious danger after surgery.

CNN said that health anomalies were raised while Chairman Kim did not show up on Kim Il-sung's birthday on the 15th.

Earlier, North Korea's daily media, Daily NK, reported that Kim had undergone cardiovascular surgery on the 12th at the Hyangsan Clinic, a dedicated facility located in Myohyangsan District, North Pyongan Province.

The media quoted inside sources as saying Kim was recovering from a villa in the province after the operation.

Chairman Kim Jong-un did not visit the Sun Palace of Geumsu-san where Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il's bodies were placed on the 15th.

This is the first time that Kim was not attended because Kim visited Geumsusan Sun Palace at the birthday of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il after taking office.

However, there is also a cautious argument that Chairman Kim presided over the Political Bureau meeting on the 11th, so that his health would not have deteriorated in a few days.

The government maintains the stance that the impatient foresight on North Korea's internal situation is not appropriate, while refraining from officially commenting on Kim's ideals of health.
