Kim Jong, no doubt, looked more thin last weekend when he left his last prolonged absence. But it can be the Swiss watch of the North Korean leader who provides the clearest evidence he has been observing the weight of him.
The IWC Schaffhausen of Schaffhausen always present from Kim seemed to have held to his wrist in the last photos published by state media, according to an analysis published on Tuesday by NK News.
The news site based in Seoul compared the first planes of the $ 12,000 clock since the last months to support the observations that Kim, 37 had thinned.
The weight of the North Korea leader has long been tracked by spy agencies on tracks about the stability of the autocratic and secret regime of it, especially because it has a history of heart disease.
The Southern Korean spy agency told lawmakers in November that Kim weighed an estimate of 140 kilograms (309 pounds) and had won about 50 kilograms since he came to power in 2011.
“Foreign intelligence agencies want to know that he is healthy enough to remain the leader during a long amount of time,” said Colin Zwirko, a senior analytical correspondent for NK News. “What is happening behind the scenes, if he is unhealthy? And how does that affect security in the region given to North Korea have nuclear weapons”?
Kim’s health became the topic of global intrigue during an absence of 20 days last year in which he lost birthday celebrations for the late grandfather and founder of the State, Kim Il.
The news site based in Seoul, NK reported that Kim had subjected a “cardiovascular surgical procedure” and, when it was finally emerged, NK News cited a mark on him as a possible evidence to support that theory.
Kim had not been presented in the state media of North Korea for approximately one month before Saturday’s reports he had attended a meeting of ruling parties on economic issues.
