State TV: North Koreans heartbroken over Kim's 'emaciated looks'
Fox News
Heartbroken North Koreans have been worrying tearfully about leader Kim Jong Un's "emaciated looks," state media quoted a local resident as saying, in a rare acknowledgement of foreign speculation about his weight loss.
"Our people’s hearts ached most when we saw (Kim’s) emaciated looks," North Korean state TV cited the unidentified male resident wearing a straw hat as saying on Friday. "Everyone says their tears are welling up in their eyes naturally." In recent state media photos, Kim has appeared to have lost a considerable amount of weight. Some North Korea watchers said Kim, who is about 170 centimeters (5 feet, 8 inches) tall and has previously weighed 140 kilograms (308 pounds), may have lost 10-20 kilograms (22-44 pounds).More Related News
