Recent reports from South Korea's spy agency have revealed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is facing health issues related to obesity. The 40-year-old leader, known for his heavy drinking and smoking habits, has reportedly regained weight and is estimated to weigh around 140 kilograms (308 pounds). This weight gain puts him at a high risk for heart disease, especially considering his family history of heart problems.
Kim Jong Un's father and grandfather, who previously ruled North Korea, both succumbed to heart issues. The leader has shown symptoms of high blood pressure and diabetes since his early 30s, likely exacerbated by his lifestyle choices. The National Intelligence Service shared that North Korean officials are seeking new medicines abroad to address Kim's suspected health conditions.
