<Anchor> From the

perspective of yesterday (21st), the White House of the United States, who had been out from the morning yesterday, said that the White House is paying close attention to Kim's health.

North Korea is a closed society, so it is prudent to say that it is difficult to know the exact information, but there are reports from the US media that normal life can 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 would be cautious.

[O'Brien / White House National Security Adviser: As you know, we are watching closely and must do so. I will be cautious about the situation.] In

an interview with a radio broadcaster, North Korea said it was a closed society, making it difficult to grasp 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.
