N. Korea's Kim Jong Un now tips scales at 130 kg: paper

N. Korea's Kim Jong Un now tips scales at 130 kg: paper

SEOUL (Kyodo) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's reported weight gain is continuing unabated, with the South Korean government estimating from his body shape and gait that he has put on some 30 kilograms over the past five years and presently weighs around 130 kg, South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Saturday.

Since obesity is often linked to health problems such as cardiovascular disease, neighboring countries are paying close attention to changes in Kim's waistline.

When Kim officially emerged as successor to his father in September 2010, he was already considerably fatter than photos of him taken when he attended school in Switzerland in the 1990s.

For that reason, some wondered whether he had intentionally packed on the pounds to more resemble his grandfather, the country's founder Kim Il Sung.

The Chosun Ilbo noted that Kim Jong Un's girth rapidly expanded after ordering the execution of his uncle Jang Song Thaek in December 2013. It quoted sources as attributing the weight gain to his gorging on food and drink due to stress.

Keep in mind that he’s only 5’4 or so. He’s not going to live long, even if he doesn’t get disposed.

This is the kind of rhetoric that starts wars. Why would you call that tiny, whiny, weeble wobble fat? All it will do is piss him off.

Reports I have seen said that his height is over 170cm, about 5'8”. The latest Google search results says that his height is 175cm, 5'9”.

I don’t think any of his medical staff would dare tell him that he is overweight and unhealthy. They probably will be executed in some horrible sadistic fashion.

Stage name for a rap career? You mean he's turning his life around, and getting into the "arts"?

That never ends well for a lot of people, especially for people of "color", judging from the comments made by friends and relatives of recently deceased aspiring rappers that were on the cusp of turning their lives around, only to cut down while committing that one last criminal act before walking the straight and narrow.

That poor Korean working man who’s standing next to him. You can literally see the fear on his face. One wrong move, one wrong facial gesture, and its off to the concentration camps, or worse.
