Now!! We know why Kim Jong Un is Fat. Secret Revealed

NORTH Korea’s supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, appears to have gained a significant amount of weight recently, and it appears his lavish diet is to blame.

In images recently released by the Korea Central News Agency, the North Korean dictator has noticeably gained a few kilos.

While the rest of his country is in the midst of a food shortage due to severe drought,the 32-year-old’s extravagant lifestyle and ravenous appetite has clearly not been affected.

According to UK news site The Independent, Kenji Fujimoto, the chef who worked for Kim’s father for 13 years, has spoken out about the dictator’s expensive taste for sushi and champagne.

Mr Fujimoto told the Mail Online, “I used to make sushi for the General (Jong-il) at least once a week and Jong-un always joined the dinner. So I could say Jong-un liked sushi.”

But it’s not just the raw fish that’s getting him in trouble. Kim is believed to be a fan of bubbly, drinking multiple bottles of champagne a day.

“He drank a lot. His favourite was Cristal, usually about two bottles [in a sitting],” said Mr Fujimoto.

Cristal champagne retails for around $300 a bottle in Australia.

The chef also spoke of lavish North Korean banquet he attended along with Kim in 2012, where Kobe steak and shark-fin soup, a delicacy that is purported to have many health benefits, was served.

The sale of shark fins has been banned in a number of regions worldwide due to the inhumane hunting methods and concern over the impact on the world’s shark population.

Kim, who is considerably larger in the pictures than the men around him, has to tread carefully, however. Analysts suggest any indication of health issues could lead to him being ousted from his position of power.

Yet, Sharon Jan, who defected from North Korea in 2011, told the Mail Online that a larger body is a symbol of strength and power in North Korea.

“If the country’s leader had a thin body type, the public could think he is nothing but bones because he can’t sleep and eat due to them. They could feel upset about that,” she said.

Kim, it seems, is following in his father’s footsteps. Kim Jong-il, who died in 2011 as a result high blood pressure and diabetes, led a similarly unhealthy lifestyle.
