Dead or alive? Probably the latter, but no one knows for certain what, if anything, happened to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un that made him vanish from the public eye since April 12.
Kim is said to be recovering from a failed angioplasty operation to insert a stent into a blocked coronary artery. The obese Kim weighs more than 300 lbs, stands 172 cm tall and relentlessly smokes up to four packs of cigarettes a day, sources reveal.
Daily NK, a website run by North Korean defectors in Seoul, claims Kim has had to deal with cardiovascular disease since August 2019. Western media outlets earlier this week reported United States intelligence agencies revealing Kim is "in grave danger" following the angioplasty surgery conducted at his family's Hyangsan Clinic in North Pyongan province. Still other U.S. intel has Kim walking at a beach in the port city of Wonsan in eastern North Korea.
Whatever his true physical condition, Kim's death or impending death is raising fears it will destabilize this heavily militarized region and trigger a massive refugee exodus out of North Korea and into South Korea and China. Kim's fate will also force the U.S., South Korea and other regional allies to react to the upheaval to contain the Korean People's Army (KPA) with its 1.3 million active military personnel, the Military Times noted.

Yes I noticed that too. Author is mixing and matching height and weight measurement. He’s about 5 foot 7 inches and 300 pounds.
I did not realize he smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day. Let’s face it he is not long for this world, even if he pulls through this current health problem.
How will it lead to anything different than what normally goes on in that s**thole? One a**hole taking over from the previous, now-in-Hell, a**hole. SSDD for a commie dump.
Kim Yo-jong likely the most blood thirsty of all the Kims
Looks like Frank Costanza is going back to Korea.
Best Case: There will be a new market for Jesus statues.
Worst Case: The Army will need cooks.
Sis is cute in an oriental way...looks like a kpop girl...
Have they fed his hapless Surgeon to the dogs, yet?
They gave the shredder hamburger to the dogs
That is literally having a cigarette in your hand every waking moment, except for mealtime.
I still believe that Kim Jong-Un is a figurehead more than anything. The question is, who is the real power in North Korea?
China moved 150K troops and built camps along the border several years back just in case.

I think she’d be smoking hot with a little makeup. She’s not a total loss without it,though
I saw an old documentary that said at the start of the Korean War that Korea only had 50 miles of paved road! I think they meant NK and SK. But I'd guess that SK now has a pretty good set of roads.
Female dictator god figure? What could go wrong?
Sounds like a China problem. Not ours.

Make up your mind which units you want to use, author.”
What is that in rods to the hogshead?
“How exactly could it be worse?”
It can always be worse.
Kim Jong Un’s Life Has Lead To ‘Chaos, Human Suffering’
