North Korea's Kim Jong-un said that the White House was closely watching Kim's health during the night. North Korea is a closed society, and it is said that it is difficult to obtain accurate information. However, there are reports from the US media that normal life may be difficult.

O'Brien, White House National Security Adviser, did not go ahead of the question about Kim Jong-un's health ideals.

The Ministry of National Defense, the State Department, and intelligence agencies said they were closely watching the reports and will be watching closely.

[O'Brien / White House National Security Adviser: As you know, we are watching closely and must do so. I will keep an eye on the situation.]

An interview with a radio broadcaster said that North Korea is a closed society, making it difficult to obtain information.

[O'Brien / White House National Security Adviser: It's hard to know about a country like North Korea, a country that many people call the Kingdom of Hermitage.]

Fox News reports that the US government has extensive plans for Kim's death. And about the family succession issue, he wrote, "It's too early to talk because I don't know what the situation is."

Contrary to the lack of information, contradictory reports are pouring in the US media.

While CNN, which Kim reported as critical, did not suggest that he would not be able to live a normal life, NBC broadcasts cited officials that Kim may not be able to live a normal life after heart surgery.
