South Korean intelligence believes the DPRK leader has been showing signs of high blood pressure and diabetes since he was 30 years old.
North Korean officials are looking abroad for drugs that could help dictator Kim Jong Un overcome his health problems. This was reported by the AP news agency on Monday, July 29.
Kim, who is about 170 centimeters tall, used to weigh 140 kilograms, but in 2021 he lost a lot of weight. Perhaps due to a change in diet, the media note. Recent footage published in state media shows that he has put on weight again.
As MP Lee Sung-kin noted, according to the NIS, Kim has been showing signs of high blood pressure and diabetes since he was 30, so there is a possibility that he will suffer from heart disease over time. if he does not take care of his health.
According to South Korean intelligence, Kim’s obesity is linked to alcohol abuse, smoking and stress. North Korean officials are trying to find drugs abroad for their leader.
North Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world, so it is almost impossible to know accurate information about Kim’s health.
However, the issue of Kim Jong Un’s health is in the spotlight outside North Korea because Kim has yet to officially name a successor to take over responsibility for the country’s nuclear arsenal if the current leader becomes incapacitated.
As we have already written, the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, during his visit to the DPRK on June 19, gave Kim Jong-un a limousine from the Russian company Aurus. The car contains spare parts from South Korea.
