SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA -- The health of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has long been a source of morbid fascination in rival South Korea, which sits in the shadow of Kim's 1.2-million-strong army and his growing arsenal of nuclear-armed missiles.
Kim's health matters in Seoul, Washington, Tokyo and other world capitals because he hasn't publicly anointed a successor who would control an advancing nuclear program targeting the United States and its allies -- if he is incapacitated. The strap on his fancy watch is tighter, and his face thinner. Some observers say Kim -- who is about 170 centimeters tall and has previously weighed 140 kilograms -- may have lost about 10-20 kilograms .
Kim, known for heavy drinking and smoking, comes from a family with a history of heart problems. His father and grandfather, who ruled North Korea before him, both died of heart issues.South Korea's Unification Ministry said it has no information to share about Kim's health. His slimmer look has been the focus of keen interest in South Korea, with media outlets publishing photos of his previous and current appearances.
That's not a very look a like
And this effects my life how? Great reporting CTV.
Health speculation? Maybe he is just healthier?
He looks good!
Probably jumped on the keto bandwagon…either that or he’s heartbroken, missing his buddy Trump. 😜 Ultimately, who cares…
Perhaps he’s on a diet
We can 0nly hope hes on slimfast
Hair looks taller too
Maybe he tried sharing some of his food with his starving people and therefore has lost some weight? IDK 🤷♀️?
He looks a bit jaundiced.
keto
It's June, time to show off that sexy beach bod!🔥🔥
If you told me he lost 300 pounds I would just tell you he got rid of Trump.
Maybe he is on a ' heart smart' diet?
Maybe he is just watching his saturated fats?!
Cariboojeff3 Have we categorically ruled out a TikTok skinny filter?
Maybe hes just playing basketball instead of just watching it
Gastric bypass….. intermittent fasting……lovesick?
The skin tag on his left cheek in the first photo is exactly the same as the one in the right photo.
Keto...
They ducking say the same shit when he was fat. Also he was pronounced dead three times. Who gives a fuck at MSM anymore?
May be he just wants to get healthy
Maybe all that rich food is killing him? 😳
from a total fat bastard to just a fat bastard lol
Food shortage.
Still looks fat to me
They are experiencing a food shortage.
And the one on the left was healthy looking?
Maybe he’s eating less fatty people !
Or he’s starving like many N Koreans
Hurray! The only good dictator is a dead one!
Oh that’s really unfortunate lol
The shade of black he's wearing is much more thinning than the shade of black he wore in the earlier photo.
He looks like a dumpling! 😅
Can the guy just lose weight like everyone else! If he’s too fat media speculates if he’s getting thinner media speculates! Whatever media! You’re useless!
Bro is skin look more healthier ...
Maybe he stopped eating pork 🤣
Maybe he’s enjoying the same starvation diet most of his citizens survive on.
Noom. It changes the way you dictate and eat.
The spex. the spectactles. I find it difficult to view sites up close wen I ware mine. He looks, stunned.
If he gets replaced it will be by a similar tyrant. The circle of N. Korean life.
Looking healthier is a health concern these days? We’ve gone to far.
Or he went on a diet. It happens. Fking idiot media looking to sensationalize everything. Must be a slow covid day
Pining for his bestie Donald
does this mean we have to stop calling him a fathead?
But isn't there a food shortage there?
Every article about North Korea and Kim are always speculation. No one really knows. So who cares.
Maybe started dieting....
Maybe he just stopped cooking with 🧀 🙆♂️
He's been dancersizing!!
Nah...they are running out of communist pork
Or he’s on Jenny Craig.
Trump won’t find him as attractive now.
