Kim Jong-Un has gained weight

News summary

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly regained weight, reaching approximately 140 kilograms (308 pounds), and is facing obesity-related health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes, according to South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS). Kim's lifestyle, characterized by heavy smoking and drinking, along with a family history of heart disease, places him at high risk for serious health complications. South Korean intelligence indicates that officials are seeking new medications abroad to address his health concerns. Observers note that Kim's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, is being groomed as a potential successor, with increased public appearances alongside her father. The NIS has acknowledged her as the likely heir but has not ruled out other siblings as possible contenders. Kim's health and succession plans are closely monitored due to the implications for North Korea's nuclear arsenal and leadership stability.
