The North Koreans are not allowed to gossip about Kim Jong Uns weight loss, it is considered reactionary. But there is an official explanation: Kim goes through thick and thin with his people.
The leadership in North Korea appears to be warning its citizens against gossiping about Kim Jong Un’s current weight loss and speculating about his health. As “Radio Free Asia” reports, citing unnamed sources in North Korea, such rumors would be classified as a “reactionary act”. In Kim-Land this means: Anyone who blaspheme and is caught should face draconian punishments.
However, there is an official official explanation for the lost pounds, it is said: Kim is healthy and the recent weight loss shows that he is suffering at the side of his people. It is an act of solidarity in affection for the people and the country. In addition to the chronically inadequate food supply for North Koreans, the global corona pandemic is currently being added.
Discussion about Kim Jong Us Health: A turning point?
The speculation arose after Kim appeared noticeably thinner than before in June after a long absence in public. “This is the first time that the authorities see the need to have surveillance units in each neighborhood declare that the Supreme Leader has no health problems,” the source is quoted as saying. On the other hand, many citizens were more relieved because they would have considered the dictator’s previous weight to be much more risky for his well-being.
Despite all the urgent warnings: At neighborly meetings with the surveillance units, Kim’s health was repeatedly and eagerly discussed – also with the representatives of the authorities. This alone is evidently something of a turning point. Because, as another source is quoted: In the times of Kim Jong Uns grandfather Kim Il Sung, a public discussion about his health would have been just as unthinkable as in the era of Kim Jong Uns, who died in 2011.
Those: “Radio Free Asia”

In the video: North Korean state television KRT has published a video showing Kim Jong Un with a bandage on the back of his head. This sparked speculation about the health of the North Korean ruler.
