The people are happy to see their leader slimming down
Speculation about the dictator's health began after he appeared thinner and thinner in photographs, with estimates suggesting he may have lost up to 20 kilos.
Radio Free Asia understands that North Koreans are happy to see their leader slim down, as they believe the dictator's previous condition was more dangerous to his health.
Probably just a PR stunt
Kim Jong-un was only able to lose about twenty kilos in 2021, and the official explanation for the weight loss is that it did not happen for health reasons, but because
he "suffers alone" because of the crisis affecting the country and the people.
However, it could easily be - at least several people guess - that the weight loss is just a PR ploy, with which the North Korean dictator shows solidarity with his own people, because people are starving due to the lack of food.
