South Korean sources are maintaining Kim Jong Un is alive and well...meanwhile the rumors persist that Un is dead, and that Kim Pyong - Il, a half brother of Un's father seized control with the help of China and that Kim's sister, Kim Yo Jong has been detained so that she cannot challenge Pyong - Il's ascent.
The playboy? This would be interesting if true. I would be more confident dealing with him than the sister.

Not Kim Jong Chul, Un's older brother, the boy bander, Eric Clapton fan, if that's who you mean. Kim Pyong- Il is Kim Jong - Il's younger half brother. Un's uncle.
I read your link. Interesting that the rumor has China and US negotiating terms with new leadership and nuclear weapons.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cn...im-jong-un-north-korea-health-intl/index.html South Korea says he is alive and well and that nothing appears amiss, but they attribute this to his train being in a certain location, and letters and gifts still going out in his name to world leaders...etc. It doesn't seem that South Korea has any real evidence Un is fine. North Korea could easily just be making it appear things are normal by continuing to stage the national holidays, having his train go to a known villa Un usually goes to, and sending letters and gifts out in his name. It makes sense that North Korea would do this until they figure out what to do. To allow time for Chinese doctors to assess Un to make sure he is brain dead and that he cannot recoup. Then to allow time for a power shift, probably guided by China.
And I wouldn't trust China as far as I could pick it up and throw it. That tells you something about how much I trust North Korea.
These people believe that un's grandfather was born in a mountain and conceived by mystical spirits. I think it's going to take more than a few Chinese doctors to convince them that Kim Jong-un is essentially dead.
