Photos Suggest that Kim Jong Un Wears Special Shoes to Make Himself Look Taller

By Allie Fasanella

On the heels (pun intended) of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s historic first meeting, South Korea’s media is calling out Kim for wearing special shoes to make himself appear taller.

Chosun Ilbo, a conservative South Korean newspaper, analyzed videos and photographs of the recent landmark summit between the two leaders and spotted a rather high slope on the front of his shoes that seems to suggest the footwear contains insoles that push Kim’s feet upward.

According to The Washington Post, the North Korean leader was thought to be around 5-foot-7, but new analysis of his shoes suggests that he might actually be a full 3 inches shorter, standing at about 5-foot-4.

In photographs taken of their meeting, Kim looks to have gained a few extra inches of height with his shoes, as he appears to be only less than an inch shorter than Moon, who is believed to be around 5-foot-6.

Some sources have claimed that Kim Jong Un’s father, Kim Jong Il, who was 5-foot-2, wore lifts in his shoes to make himself appear taller.

So what if he does? Most short to average height men wish they were taller, at least sometimes.
He may still be smarting over when Pres. Trump called Kim
‘short and fat’.Lol! Yes, he did make such a remark. You know The Donald.

The Chosun Ilbo article also mentions that Kim's body mass index is 45. In comparison, Trump's is reportedly 29.5, which Fake Stream Media made a big deal out of.

It's important because the Kim regime has brainwashed their people into thinking they are gods, larger than life.

In reality, he's a little fatty dictator.

Does he also wear shoes that make him look fatter or is that natural?

The extreme insecurity about height and abnormally high body mass index are all items of interest. They give a profile of his personality and health condition.

Ever carry a cucumber in your pocket? Just asking. How can you take this seriously? Hell Tom Brady wore a costume to a function that was rediculous. This Kim character is playing with nukes. People need to keep there eyes on the prize. For all I care he can meet DJT on stilts. Then the Donald can cut him off at the heels.

With body mass index of 45, he would look the same in sandals. Hildebeast would love to stand next to him. He will make her look perfectly fit.:-)

What he really needs is Spanx!
Or maybe Marie Osmond can start shipping him some Nutrisystem meals as a diplomacy measure.
(Or as the ordinary Norks would refer to a Nutrisystem meal, “a month of food.”)
