Checking with some people here who would or should know, they've got nothing to offer. Does that mean it's not true? Perhaps. As we experienced with the many rumors of the impending demise of Kim Jong Il over decades these whispers more often than not are false alarms. https://twitter.com/GalloVOA/status/1252412654435446785
My caveat, as someone who spent years reporting on the #DPRK, is the country is very opaque. A single unreliable source carries a lot of currency and it's difficult to verify their information quickly. We've been aware of some Kim Jong Un health issues for years.
Kim Jong Un is only ~36. His father lived to be 82.

No such indications of any Kim Jong Un health issues, officials in Seoul tell @YonhapNews. https://twitter.com/yonhaptweet/status/1252419283881086977?s=21 https://twitter.com/yonhaptweet/status/1252419283881086977
