(Video) Has North Korea's power shifted to Kim Yo-jong? Rumors of Kim Jong-un's death go viral online, latest footage sparks new 'body double' suspicions ZH(影) 北韓變金與正掌權了? 網瘋傳金正恩死訊 最新影像再掀「替身疑雲」
Newtalk新聞 北韓領導人金正恩近日遭傳突發腦出血、送往中國北京協和醫院搶救後死亡,相關消息在社群媒體迅速擴散,甚至出現金正恩妹妹金與正接掌政權、中國派兵介入北韓政局等說法,但這些說法都未獲得任何官方證實。與此同時,社群平台也出現另一種質疑,認為北韓近期公開的金正恩影像與過去有所不同,懷疑出席活動的人是否真為金正恩本人,進一步引發「替身說」討論。 據《聯合早報》報導,英國《太陽報》及美國《紐約郵報》20 日指出,社群平台 X 近日流傳金正恩因突發腦出血昏迷,被緊急送往北京一家醫院救治後死亡的消息。傳聞據稱源自中國異議人士謝萬軍。他 19 日在 X 發文聲稱,由於北韓醫療條件落後,金正恩發病後被送往中國搶救,但最終不治身亡。 隨後,部分社群貼文進一步宣稱,金正恩死後將由妹妹金與正接掌政權,而中國為支持金主愛接班,已派遣 9,000 名軍人進駐平壤。另有網友比較金正恩不同時期的照片,質疑其臉部輪廓、髮型及外貌細節存在差異,甚至認為近期公開露面者可能是替身。不過,這些說法目前均缺乏可靠證據,尚無可信消息來源證實金正恩死亡、由替身代為出席活動,或中國派兵介入北韓政局。 有網友比較金正恩不同時期的照片,質疑其臉部輪廓、髮型及外貌細節存在差異,甚至認為近期公開露面者可能是替身。 圖:翻攝自X 報導指出,謝萬軍過去也曾散播有關中國領導人習近平健康狀況及使用替身等未經證實的消息,其言論可信度因此受到質疑。 面對傳聞持續發酵,《朝中社》及《朝鮮中央電視台》 20 日報導,金正恩 19 日攜夫人李雪主及女兒金主愛,在平壤參觀「2026 全國皮衣、鞋展」。北韓官媒並公開一家三口參觀展廳的照片,畫面顯示金正恩查看女裝外套、兒童鞋等商品。 此外,社群平台上也流傳金正恩出席活動的影像,以及疑似模仿北韓官方新聞播報風格、宣稱金正恩死亡的貼文。不過,這些內容並不能作為金正恩病危或死亡的證據,部分貼文更以未經證實的說法搭配影像,營造北韓政局突變的氛圍。 部分社群傳聞進一步宣稱,金正恩死後將由妹妹金與正接掌政權。 圖 : 翻攝朝中社(資料照片) 金正恩的健康狀況長期受到國際關注。韓國國家情報院 9 月 30 日向國會報告時指出,金正恩體重約 …
