Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Intelligence South Korea reported that the highest leader’s weight North Korea, Kim Jong-un, down 20 kilograms. However, they confirmed that Kim was still healthy.
Associated Press reported that a number of South Korean intelligence officials presented the results of an investigation into Kim’s health in a closed parliamentary meeting on Thursday (28/10).
The officials claimed that South Korean intelligence used special techniques to analyze Kim’s appearance via video. They also used intelligence methods again to observe Kim’s condition.
They admit Kim does look thinner than before. But according to them, Kim’s weight loss because the leader is trying to improve his health, has nothing to do with disease.
During the meeting, a member of parliament also asked about a number of rumors that Kim who appeared in public recently was a fake figure.
South Korean intelligence later confirmed that Kim was healthy and continued to work to strengthen his image as a leader amid the economic crisis that gripped North Korea.
In recent months, Kim Jong-un’s health has become a concern. Kim began to be in the spotlight in November 2020, when he appeared very fat.
A number of South Korean media even reported that Kim’s weight had increased by about 50 kilograms since he first took office in 2012.
Kim started looking thinner last June, when he appeared in public for the first time in months. At that time, Kim is estimated to have managed to lose weight by 10-20 kilograms.
Some observers think Kim’s weight loss is the result of his efforts to become thinner, not because of disease.
As reported ReutersKim’s health condition has always attracted the attention of world intelligence agencies because it relates to the supreme leader’s ability to govern North Korea.
