Post by: Nearly Sane on April 25, 2020, 07:15:46 PM: Lots of speculation on line that he is dead, but nothing even approaching official.

His sister is next in line. By all accounts she is even worse than her brother. So not more open, unfortunately.

Post by: Roses on April 28, 2020, 12:17:07 PM: Apparently South Korea is denying he is dead, but how do they know? It does seem odd that he hasn't been seen around for a while.

Who knows, but if he has had heart surgery than that is a major operation which takes some time to recover from.

Perhaps he had a bad haircut and it prompted a heart attack?

Just a suggestion.
