North Korean leader King Jong-un is on a diet. That’s the best guess of experts in South Korea who make a living talking and writing about Dear Leader’s health and appearance.
Well… it’s a living.
These experts say that if the weight loss was health-related, there would be other noticeable symptoms.
"In recent state media images, including those published on Wednesday, Kim appeared to have lost a large amount of weight. The strap on his fancy watch is tighter, and his face thinner. Some observers say Kim — who is about 170 centimeters (5 feet, 8 inches) tall and has previously weighed 140 kilograms (308 pounds) — may have lost about 10-20 kilograms (22-44 pounds)."
Kim’s apparent weight loss is more likely an attempt to improve his health, rather than a sign of illness, according to Hong Min, a senior analyst at Seoul’s Korea Institute for National Unification.
Or could it be a sign that North Korea is running out of food?
The state news media is reporting that Kim told the Communist Central Committee of North Korea that the food situation had become “tense” as there appears to be about a 1.5 million-ton shortage of grains compared to last year. He’s making the food shortage a “top priority.”
The tense food situation was brought about by extensive flooding. The last time the flooding was this bad was in the 1990s when upwards of two million people died of starvation.
“In particular, the people’s food situation is now getting tense as the agricultural sector failed to fulfill its grain production” after flood damage, Kim was quoted as saying in the meeting. “It is essential for the whole Party and state to concentrate on farming.”

Had Fat Kim (then) listened to Trump during their first meeting in Singapore and took the first steps to opening up the economy to some form of capitalism, instead of spending dwindling resources on missiles and nukes, the country would be in a much better place by now.
No doubt, a smoker almost 100 pounds over weight, not good.
“... Kim Jong-Un Announces ‘Tense Food Shortage’ in North Korea..”
What...are they running out of grass?
He looks better on the right picture. He needs to lose another 50 pounds.
North Korea running out of food is not the same thing as Kim Jong-un running out of food.
The shortages won’t impact him in the slightest. At least not until the majority of the population are dead from starvation.
A store just up from the old high school made a sandwich called the Fat Albert. First rate deli style stuff.
Putin and X I convinced him it was better to be enemies with the US.
In the movie about Moses and the Pharaoh Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) the people of Egypt were starving and the underling asked if the huge palace royal reserve granaries could be opened to feed some people. The Pharaoh was angry: “You would allow me to starve?” “No, your excellency. I would never suggest that you starve.”
Should have listened to orange man and things could have been better. Here’s wishing you get another chance to talk with him in the future.
Kim photo on right.
Kim: “Is it really true Alyssa Milano said I’d be kinda cute if I lost some weight?”
Poor guy looks emaciated.
Only 100#s? Try 150#+ overweight.
He probably would have, but it’s that very moment he knew an agreement with Trump was not worth the paper it was written on. At that moment, Trump phone party was undermining him, and the American communist party was plotting the impeachment. Trump on republican party was assisting them in that effort. Bolton, maddest, and others did all they could to undermine the negotiate.
Kim knew that any agreement he signed with likely only last a few weeks or months and would be completely reversed the minute Trump is gone. The deep state undermined our president.
God only knows what Trump could’ve accomplished had his own party supported him.
Give up all of their nukes and missiles in trade for food
Only important news would be if his sister is “gaining” weight...
