Observer North Korea reveal the cause of the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un, looks thinner. The North Korean study expert assessed that Kim Jong-un could not get his favorite food intake due to restrictions Covid-19.
Kim Jong-un is famous for his love of Swiss cheese. It was reported that he ate so much cheese that he was overweight and injured his ankle.
Kim also loves fried chicken, Russian vodka, Hennessy Cognac and champagne.
“We know he (Kim) has good access, he likes cheese, he’s a heavy drinker, he gets access to all fast food,” Sojin Lim, a lecturer at the Institute of Korean Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, told Metro.
“But because of this border closure, Kim’s way of bringing all this food to North Korea had to be cut off. It doesn’t have the same variety anymore.”
In addition, Lim alluded to Kim staying thin in order to protect his image in society, given that North Korea is now facing starvation.
“If he maintains that look (fat), it will only add to people’s complaints,” he said again.
Lim also said that Kim’s weight loss also showed that he ’empathizes’ with society.
“It shows people, ‘I’m with you guys, I’m not taking all this food for myself,’ I’m like you, I’m suffering too,” he said.
In some photos that appear, Kim looks thinner. North Korean authorities claim Kim is eating less for the sake of the country, which is currently experiencing a food shortage.
North Korea’s zero-Covid strategy is one of the causes of this country’s food shortage. North Korea’s trade routes with its only international partner, China, have been cut off for years.
As a result, residents have to experience a shortage of food and other products, such as cooking oil and tires.
