North Koreans worried over leader Kim Jong Un's drastic weight loss

"Seeing respected general secretary (Kim Jong Un) looking emaciated breaks our people's heart so much," a man said.

SEOUL: Everyone in North Korea is heartbroken over leader Kim Jong Un`s apparent weight loss, said an unidentified resident of Pyongyang quoted on the country`s tightly controlled state media, after watching recent video footage of Kim. The rare public comment on Kim`s health comes after foreign analysts noted in early June that the autocratic leader, who is believed to be 37, appeared to have lost a noticeable amount of weight. "Seeing respected general secretary (Kim Jong Un) looking emaciated breaks our people`s heart so much," the man said in an interview aired by state broadcaster KRT on Friday.
