The Kim Jong-un Coma Rumors meme took the internet by storm in 2020 after reports suggested the North Korean leader was in a vegetative state or had passed away. This period of geopolitical uncertainty led to an explosion of memes, primarily focusing on the perceived 'girlboss' energy and intimidating presence of his sister, Kim Yo-jong, as a potential successor. The memes often use tropes from anime or action movies to depict the transition of power, turning serious international news into a recurring internet legend. Even after his reappearance, the template remains a popular way to comment on media misinformation and the mysterious nature of North Korean politics.
