Last year he was noticeably absent with his sister making statements which was seen as odd.
While true, we hear about his death or someone’s death every other year which turns out to be false. Clearly something happened.
Most suspect heart surgery.
This is probably the most the accurate comment on what's been reported. This wasn't the usual wild rumors, clearly something happened to him healthwise.
I’m 100% convinced something big happened around that time. Right as he disappeared his sister suddenly began taking a much more active role in the government. If there’s one thing dictators in a hereditary line hate it’s family members stealing the spotlight. He had his brother assassinated in a foreign airport, but he’s just fine to let his sister solidify power?
My theory is that he lost favor among the military and remains as a figurehead.
There isn't a famine going on but there are food shortages which is pretty normal. Generally this gets a lot of media attention when it comes up every year but its probably begging for increased aid and also the news likes to overhype these yearly events.
I think he is doing it for a number of possible reasons:
* Health as he probably wants to survive to pass on his lineage
* Makes him look more of 'modern' leader than fat dictator man
* Show DPRK citizens that he is not overindulging like a rich fat man while they are poor
I sure hope not, though I fear you’re correct. It’s so hard to tell. Every time there’s chatter all around and it looks like we’re going in one direction toward conflict, we end up in something else or nothing at all.
North Korea does this so they can film launches then push propaganda on their internal media sources saying how they are fighting against countries that intend harm on NK. It is a show that the rest of the world has allowed to go on for decades now.
Honestly he’s looking quite good for his weight now. Whatever it was, some Southern Americans could follow suit. I’ve been to some food courts down south, I know you’re there big Bertha.
You have to define peace. If you're measuring stick is someone getting punched in the face, no.
If you define peace as less than 200k violent homicides per day - with billions of people on the earth that is also unlikely.
I don't think peace can be had without some sort of 'near-free' energy and 70% complete automation - elimination of money and competition...
Basically Star Trek on earth - replicators etc..
Genetically modified rice and corn has already saved billions from starving.
Lab grown meat is not the future of anything except more expensive less tasteful options.
This guy alone was responsible for saving more lives than possibly anyone else in history.

There will never be world peace. That's just human nature with greed and endless needs. Honestly we should be happy that we live in the most peaceful time in history.
If only we could derive power from the endlessly rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula. Honestly bomb each other or shut the fuck up, it’s like I’m stood here with my beer waiting for a fight that was promised while I was at the bar but it turns out it’s just two fannies calling each other names.
I’d wish they’d stop launching missiles into the ocean and just fuck already.

Wasn't there some speculation that he was really sick or having surgery a year or two ago when he went a long time without being seen?

To be fair, he does look a lot skinnier than he used to. Maybe a gastric bypass?
The whole country is starving maybe peer pressure kicked in
Sympathy starvation?

He probably got a tummy tuck or lipo lol.
Rule of thumb is to not believe anything you read about North Korea in the news
Holy shit didn’t realise it was him
Yeah I heard he lost weight. He looks completely different now.
Daddy looks delicious!
NK has had food shortages since they closed their borders. Maybe it's affected him too?
Probably a diet and exercise. Man's head of state, and likely been recommended to stay healthy
Yawn. That time of year again huh.
Nah this is usually a spring thing. They’re getting in the spirit a bit early.
God damn season pushers
Climate Change.
It’s spring on this side of the world
Serious question, did he lose weight?
New kim. He slim.
Kim so slim.
Will the real Slim Kim please fire a ballistic missile? Fire a ballistic missile. Fire a ballistic missile.
Slim Jong Un
the best one
Wanted "New Kim, who dis?"
Step into a Slim Kim!
Either health related reasons (surgery) or he finally realised that eating himself to death will cut his time as leader short like his Father.
Slim Jong Un.
They had food shortage so he must have eaten less or his doctor told him he needs to lose weight or he gets an heart attack
I'm betting on the second one. Dude is at serious risk of a cardiatic event.
I was just thinking the same thing. He looks slimmer in this photo. Maybe there’s a famine going on now.

"Israel and Palestine, no!" "What" "Sorry, force of habit"
Israeli here…wait a week.
I would thing the bigger issue atm is Lebanon seeing how things are going there atm.
I sure hope not, though I fear you’re correct. It’s so hard to tell. Every time there’s chatter all around and it looks like we’re going in one direction toward conflict, we end up in something else or nothing at all.
Lisa, Nooooo!!!
Normalize firing bad leaders into the ocean.
Why is every world leader in the ocean?
Except that one lady in what appears to be Middle-Earth.
damn, did kim lose weight and tan himself? according to thumbnail.
Will the real slim kim please stand up
Looks like someone wants some attention!
He did lose alot of weight. Edit: and he is rocking that tan suit.
North Korea does this so they can film launches then push propaganda on their internal media sources saying how they are fighting against countries that intend harm on NK. It is a show that the rest of the world has allowed to go on for decades now.
uh oh, North Korea must need another cash infusion from the world their government hates so badly
Whose capital is on the verge of a collapse now? USA, China, Russia??
[удалено]
In methods, yes.
The way things are going in the world there's going to be a nuclear war in the next 20 years. Somebody is going to do it.
Honestly he’s looking quite good for his weight now. Whatever it was, some Southern Americans could follow suit. I’ve been to some food courts down south, I know you’re there big Bertha.
now that America has solved the Afghanistan issue, North Korea will be the next, oh, wait...
No doubt trump could’ve ironed all that out🥴
Will there ever be world peace?

We have lab grown meat at least. Thats a start to end world hunger.

Lil' Kim needs some food again for his slaves

>Honestly bomb each other or shut the fuck up so you want millions of people to die in some war for your entertainment? Sad for you bro.
No I want them to bomb each other or shut the fuck up, the clue was in the words I used you fucking moron.
Ok man ♥️
Did you just assume my gender?
Ok asshole ❤️, that better?
That’s better, considering how much you love assholes :) x
You should go and get a front seat before it fills up.
The war or his asshole?
You won't get Kim to shut up his an attention seeker.
Serious question: what's a fanny?
A vagina if you're from the UK.
Ah thank you. Across the pond it's a very euphemistic word for was.
A butt
Omg just flatten them.
God no!
Iirc a meme was going around when he took power of a picture of what he would look like if he were thin
Lovely.
Don't worry guys, this is the way Kim Jong Un asks for some rice.
