Kim Jong-un Seen Walking With A Limp Again
|It looks like Kim Jong-un gout is getting to him again:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was recently shown limping on state television, raising questions about the health of the 31-year-old dictator.
Some experts say that the full display of Kim walking with a limp was intended to convey that he was fully in charge and reassure, ironically, the public of his good health.
It is generally believed that an accident or health problem was the cause.
Kim looks obese for his young age. It is widely speculated that he had fattened himself to make him look like his grandfather and founder of the communist state Kim Il-sung to enable the younger Kim to ascend to power at a young age after his father, Kim Jong-il, died in late 2011.
Footage from Korean Central Television (KCTV) Tuesday showed Kim walking with a limp, favoring his left leg, during a visit to a newly built factory in August, called “the Oct. 8 Factory.” [Korea Times]
