Whatever is behind the recent weight loss, Kim Jong Un is unlikely to shed the pounds by design.

It looks like North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has shed some weight. Kim was photographed recently at Workers’ Party meetings, he looks slimmer. State media run interviews with ordinary North Korean citizens, and they voiced concerns about the country’s leader held across the impoverished nation. One interviewee, a middle-aged North Korea man said, “We were most heartbroken when we saw our dear General Secretary had become emaciated,” “Tears came out naturally.”

South Korean officials have recently said they noticed no significant change to Mr. Kim’s health. Last November, the South Korea spy-agency's assessment indicated that the dictator, despite chronic smoking and obesity, appeared to be fine.

But Pyongyang watchers sense Mr. Kim’s slimmer figure has potential political undertones, providing stark imagery that the Supreme Leader is suffering alongside his citizens who face food shortages and an economic crisis. Mr. Kim recently acknowledged North Korea’s food situation resulting from lower agricultural output, which he attributed largely to crop failures caused by last summer’s typhoons. He urged the country’s leaders to resolve shortages. But I for one, can hardly believe Kim Jong Un lost weight because of fasting.
