In video: North Korean leader loses weight (Photo Reuters)
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's first appearance this month has raised new speculation about his health, after he appears to have lost weight. Kim's overweight has attracted worldwide interest since he came to power about a decade ago, and according to an analysis of his photos at a convention of the party's political bureau by NK News, he has "lost a lot of weight."
The site, which is based in Seoul, yesterday posted enlarged photos of Kim, who appears to have tightened the strap of the luxury watch next to him. The photos show that his left hand is significantly thinner compared to similar photos taken in March this year and November last year.
Kim, who is estimated to be 37 years old, is a heavy smoker and suffers from medical problems related to his weight and lifestyle. His father, Kim Jong Il, died in December 2011, apparently following a heart attack. NK News reported that the South Korean intelligence agency told lawmakers last year that it was estimated that Kim weighed 140kg after lifting between six and sevenkgC. in the year since being appointed leader in 2011.
It is not clear if the weight loss is due to illness or diet.

One expert told NK News that the leader may have decided to lose weight to improve his standing at home.
North Korea is facing a food shortage and an economic crisis resulting from a dramatic drop in trade with China since the corona plague, a string of natural disasters and international sanctions imposed on the regime over its nuclear and missile program.
Kim's health is a constant source of speculation and rumors.
In 2014, he disappeared for nearly six weeks before appearing in public again, using a cane.
A few days later, the South Korean intelligence agency claimed that he had undergone surgery to remove a cyst from the ankle.
Last year he was absent for about three weeks, and some reports even claimed he was dead.
A more plausible theory that arose, according to which he simply secluded himself with his family for fear of being infected in Corona - arose after he reappeared in public and appeared in good condition.
