The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has prompted more speculation about his health after recent photographs suggested he had lost weight.
Kim, whose heavy frame has drawn global interest since he became the country’s leader almost a decade ago, looked noticeably trimmer in images released by state media on Saturday, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
NK News, which analysed photos of Kim addressing a ruling party politburo meeting late last week – his first public appearance for a month – said he appeared to have lost a “significant amount of weight”.

Both pix he has hand gestures associated with trying to convince people, which I take as a good sign, however nominal it might be.
The newer pic shows his elbows/arms closer to the body in a neutral position (close to the body protect the body position?), whereas as the year old pick show them far from the body in an expansive position.
But what do I know. Need to watch some film and get a baseline first to be sure.
Still sports a stylish haircut.
The haircut accounts for his longevity?
intermittent diet
This is how he lost weight. They can't afford laxitives in North Korea. Instead he sits on the toilet while his sister reads ghost stories to him heh heh heh. Keep ducking. 🙈
