North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is said to be suffering from gout, a hereditary disease which he seems to have inherited from his father and grandfather.
The ruling North Korean leader, who is believed to be his early 30s, has not been seen in public for more than three weeks.

Colchrys or Colchicine will fix it. He may just not be willing to make a few life adjustments.

Yeah, he “inheiritied” his father’s wealth and power which made him lazy, well fed and fat.
To: C19fan
I bet you the gout fires up when he drinks.
Sucks to be him.

His decadent, rich, capitalist lifestyle is doing him in. Runs in the family.
To: C19fan
He probably looks in the mirror, all depressed, and says “I’m fat, no one likes me, now I have gout and I feel terrible . . . . . give me the nuclear codes, I’m gonna fire another missile to feel better about myself.”

The little riceball has taken the burdens of chronic obesity off of his starving countrymen & assumed them for himself.

How should a North Korean Christian (of which I hear there are quite a number) pray in this case?

Gout is triggered by liquor and hops. If he stuck to wine and Natty Lite, he’d be good.
Picturing Puggsley drinking Natty Lite is my new happy place.

You could do that too. It’d be a miracle of “Red Sea-class” proportions, but like Jesus Himself said, “All things are possible with God”.

I’ll bet he has more than gout. Gout most likely occurs in people who have high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Given his gluttony, alcoholism and sedentary lifestyle, odds are he is much sicker than the government controlled media is saying.
To: circlecity
Yes, I’ve heard obesity is a real problem in North Korea. /s
