Kim Jong-un is sporting a slimmer look after shedding a whopping 3st by cutting out luxury Swiss cheese, lobster and alcohol, reports say.
Sources claim the North Korean supreme leader has changed his ways after getting through up to 10 bottles of wine per day.
He was previously considered morbidly obese after topping the scales at 22st stone with a reported body mass index of 49 in 2012.
It was also rumoured that he was a compulsive eater with spies from South Korea suggesting that he gained more than a stone each year after taking his dad's place as ruler in December 2011.
Kim became widely pictured with a large round figure as he set the nation on its way to building its first nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles.
He continued to appear bigger in size and appeared rotund during two summits he held with then US president Donald Trump in 2018.
Two years later, South Korean intelligence agents estimated he weighed around 22st with a body mass index of 49.4 given his height of 5ft 6in.
Experts warned he was "a heart attack waiting to happen" due to severe obesity being connected to a fourfold increase in cardiac failure.
Their predictions were backed up by the deaths of his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sung who both died of heart attacks.
Kim is thought to snack heavily on Swiss cheese and lobster washed down with up to ten bottles of wine per night, reports the Daily Star.
Speculation circulated that he was suffering an illness or had passed away when he was not spotted for weeks amid health concerns.
The people of North Korea were later shocked to see their leader emerge having dropped in size after a period of absence last year.
His trimmer look has since prompted a new set of rumours that he may have had a gastric bypass.
It follows reports that he lost around 44lbs within just three months which was quickly highlighted on state television.
In new images this week, Kim not only looked much slimmer but also older as he sported a new haircut and suit to fit his new shape.
The leader is thought to be between the age of 38 to 40 and attended a politburo meeting in Pyongyang this week.
