North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un sent a letter to workers building a tourist site in the Wonsan area, where his train was spotted in satellite photos, amid speculation about his health.

Over the weekend, several Asia-based news outlets reported, citing unnamed sources, that Kim was either dead or in a vegetative state, coming days after reports earlier in the week said he was in grave health after undergoing surgery. However, top South Korean officials have disputed those reports and insisted he’s still in control of the impoverished, communist country.
