Bingeing Kim Jong-Un piling on the pounds: Seoul's spies

Posted 01 Jul 2016 18:36 Updated 01 Jul 2016 18:40

SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has piled on around 40 kilos (90 pounds) since he took power four years ago, bingeing on food and drink, South Korea's spy agency said Friday (Jul 1).

The young leader is also suffering from insomnia and is paranoid about his personal safety, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) reported to a parliamentary committee behind closed doors.

When he took over from his late father in 2012, Kim's weight was believed to be 90 kilograms.

He bulked up to 120 kilos in 2014 and then 130 kilos this year, a ruling Saenuri Party lawmaker Lee Cheol-Woo told journalists after the NIS briefing for lawmakers.

"(According to NIS), he is suffering from insomnia", Lee added.

"He keeps a close tab on any potential threats to his power, including the military, and he is obsessed with ensuring his personal safety".

"Because of his habitual binge eating and drinking, he is likely to develop adult diseases", Lee said, citing the NIS report.

On top of being grossly overweight, he is often seen with a cigarette in his hand as he inspects plants, construction sites and farms.

Kim's father Kim Jong-Il and grandfather Kim Il-Sung were also obese and heavy smokers. Both died of heart attacks.

Don’t wish him any ill. Just hope he doesn’t live too long.

It’s not paranoia if the world really is out to get you.

When the Italians finally settled the score with Mussolini, they hung him up by his feet. When the starving Norks throw this bastid over, they’ll probably eat him.

He’ll likely live a long life with his paranoia and health problems.

Kim Jong-Un isn’t an absolute dictator because he’s a nice guy.

If Kim jong Un dies while in office without a sesscor there will be chaos in North Korea. Possibly full Civil war or an attack on the South Korea.

He appears to be giving these flowers a serious inspection:

He should be paranoid. Killing those around you usually causes others to take you out.
