The British newspaper Daily Mail noted that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has noticeably lost weight and looks slimmer than in all ten years of his rule. The speech of the DPRK head at the last plenary session of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, where the strategy of the country’s development in the context of the global economic crisis, was discussed, led the journalists to this conclusion.
Weight loss of Kim Jong-un, the leader of one of the most closed countries in the world, has been discussed since the beginning of 2021. According to some experts, this is due to his transition to a healthier lifestyle, while others believe that the leader of North Korea is ill, although the DPRK authorities officially refute this version, stressing that the head of state is working hard for the good of the country. This fear is shared by the citizens of North Korea.
Earlier, Kim Jong-un has already urged fellow citizens “to eat less for the sake of the country”, since there is a shortage of food in North Korea, which is under the most severe economic sanctions.
