Internet Can't Get Over Kim Jong Un's Slimmer Body After He Was Seen At The North Korean Parade
Kim Jong-Un weight loss had first become noticeable in June when he made his first public appearance in weeks to convene a ruling party meeting.
The international spotlight fell on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un during the country's annual military parade late Wednesday.
This is because the leader was seen with a thinner frame, a trace of a tan and a haircut reminiscent of his grandfather state founder Kim Il Sung. He even seemed more energetic than ever.
Dressed in a light-coloured suit, Kim didn't speak at the parade. But he waived, smiled and gave a thumbs-up as thousands of goose-stepping paramilitary and public security forces marched for more than an hour through central Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang, fixing their gazes to the balcony where the leader was watching as they passed.
It's striking how much healthier Kim Jong Un is looking in these photos from yesterday. However he is doing it -- and there are theories -- he looks a lot better than he did a few months ago. pic.twitter.com/DKqCOFSBF8

He kissed the children who gave him flowers before going to observe the parade from a balcony. Throughout the event, he clapped and applauded the marchers and talked with senior officials in an animated manner.
Kim's new look got a lot of attention on Twitter and the internet couldn't stop talking about it. Many even had different theories.

what is the CIA doing to ensure that Kim Jong Un's weight loss doesn't go to far & he becomes the hot new face of illiberal dictatorship?https://t.co/udde3SoRc2

Kim Jong Un's weight loss had continued in the wake of rumored break-up with Trump. pic.twitter.com/S0M03Wdc1m

I don¡¯t think it¡¯s him, apparently he didn¡¯t speak at the rally, and even though people do look different when they lose weight I just don¡¯t think it¡¯s him

1- Explains his complete absence awhile back likely due to gastric bypass surgery and recovery
2- Body Double. Kim has died with no direct heir, so fearful autocratic leadership found "replacement".
That guy has shed some serious pounds. I¡¯d say at least 40 to around 80. Got toned up too.

The North Korean leader may have dropped at least 20 kilograms (44 pounds) over the past several months, according to a South Korean lawmaker briefed by a spy agency official in July. He looked even thinner at the parade.
Kim, overweight and a smoker has been the subject of health speculation for years and his public appearances are closely tracked for insights about the autocratic and secretive regime in Pyongyang, especially since his family has a history of heart disease.
