Last time when Kim faced rumors about his health, the North Korean leader had walked with a cane, missed an important state anniversary or panted for breath. Now, the 37-year-old faces fresh speculation about his health because he looks thinner noticeably in recent state media images.

Kim Jong Un, who had caused a stir some time ago with his slimmer figure, has packed on the pounds once again due to excessive drinking and smoking, with his weight exceeding 140 kg now. His hedonistic behaviour is making waves at a time when his country is struggling with grave food shortages.

North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un is now a 308-pound insomniac in a “vicious cycle” of smoking and boozing 😳

North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un is spiralling, if intelligence reports from Seoul are to be believed. The 40-year-old autocrat is indulging in “heavy boozing and smoking” and his weight has surpassed 300 pounds (136 kg), according to a report by the New York Post.

The New York Post report cited a member of South Korea’s parliamentary intelligence committee, who disclosed at a recent briefing that Kim Jong Un’s lifestyle has devolved into a “vicious cycle” of excessive drinking and smoking as he pulls all-nighters. This pattern of behaviour has prompted Seoul’s National Intelligence Service to “intensely monitor” the leader’s health.
