The Dear leader appears slim and the North Koreans it seems can't bear that.
Citizens are reportedly heartbroken over leader Kim Jong Un’s sudden weight loss, news agency Reuters has reported. These reactions come days after Kim’s appearance on state television following months of absence from the public eye.
North Korea analysts said Kim Jong Un appeared to have lost weight as the strap of his Swiss watch appeared tighter and his face looked significantly thinner.
"Seeing respected general secretary looking emaciated breaks our people's heart so much," a North Korean citizen reportedly told the state broadcaster, adding that "everyone is saying that their tears welled up."
The 37-year old who is around 5ft 8 inches tall and weighs 140 kilograms may have lost as much as 10-20 kilograms, AP reported.
