On recently aired footage of a speech, the North Korean leader looks several kilograms lighter. You can see that in his face, but his body has also noticeably decreased in size.

“People’s hearts – including mine – were broken when we saw how thin the respected Secretary General was,” said a resident of the capital Pyongyang in a TV interview that is remarkable by North Korean standards. Although it was questionable whether the format of the not-so-great leader was intended to be discussed: the interview was broadcast only once. “Everyone here said they felt tears welling up,” the man said.
A lot of ink has been spilled over the weight and health of the North Korean leader in recent years. The 37-year-old Kim Jong-un is carrying a lot of overweight and specialists have called this worrying several times in the past.
It is not clear how many kilos Kim Jong-un has lost and how he has lost so much weight. Partly due to the corona crisis, there would be serious food shortages in the hermetically closed country.
