Everyone in North Korea is heartbroken over leader Kim Jong Un's apparent weight loss, said an unidentified resident of Pyongyang quoted on the country's tightly controlled state media, after watching recent video footage of Kim.
The rare public comment on Kim's health come after foreign analysts noted in early June that the autocratic leader, who is believed to be 37, appeared to have lost a noticeable amount of weight.
"Seeing respected general secretary (Kim Jong Un) looking emaciated breaks our people's heart so much," the man said in an interview aired by state broadcaster KRT on Friday.
"Everyone is saying that their tears welled up," he said.
In the clip, which Reuters could not independently verify, Pyongyang residents were seen watching a big screen on the street showing a concert attended by Kim and party officials after a plenary meeting of their Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

He’s still 3 of me.
Bill Clinton has always been quite an actor.
Some folks chose to accept his mimicking behaviour as the real thing. Faucets ON!, Faucets OFF!
From what I’ve read (multiple books written by defectors) and other resources, I really doubt the public “face” of this issue is that he is losing weight because he is sick/dieting/whatever. Instead, North Koreans are taught that he is large because he is a god.

Overdose of thyroid hormone meds cause heart palpitations. Ask me how I know.
In April Kim called on his officials to “wage another, more difficult ‘Arduous March’ in order to relieve the people of the difficulty, even a little”....the country faces again dire food shortages and economic instability...Kim has called the food situation “tense” on Jun 21, 2021
Perhaps his loss of weight might be purposeful for his own healths sake, but it would certainly put Kim in the position of identifying with the people that he too is going without...(though of course he's not).
His border with China is shut down because of covid....depriving the people of their black market incomes and food exchanges, plus the sanctions. Plus Hunger and malnourishment were reality there before covid or the sanctions so it won't take much for the Koreans to go headlong into famine itself..which they're already experiencing
I'm afraid Kim will let peple die in masses in order to get International attention and food supplied once again..ifhe follows his fathers pattern
He had on the evidence a major cardiac event and has probably been advised to keep his weight down. If he goes, we get to deal with his beautiful but deadly sister.
In the video of him at the podium from the same angles it is very evident he lost weight and pay attention to his posture. This isn’t a ‘diet,’ he is ill. He isn’t standing up like someone proud of his physical build anymore. His face doesn’t show his actual weight loss at this point yet.
medias good job at reading the starving people of nk
maybe rodman gave him the hiv,, lol
Demonic power over Hillary....
I’m sure you’re right.
