NBA legend Dennis Rodman, who recently revealed his unlikely friendship with Kim Jong-un began at a boozy karaoke session, has fueled rumors of the North Korean leader’s ill health by suggesting that his sister has succeeded him.
Kim Yo-jong, Jong-un’s younger sister, made her first public statement in March, having long held the trust of her ruling sibling to inform policy behind the scenes and represent him at major global events including the 2018 Winter Olympic.

The prominent political figure accompanied her brother to his two summits with US President Donald Trump and was even said to be acting as his “alter ego” amid mounting speculation around his health in recent months.
