North Korean leader 'extremely obese': Seoul spy agency

SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is understood to be “extremely obese”, Seoul’s spy agency said Wednesday, citing its latest assessment of the reclusive leader’s health. A heavy smoker who has long been obese, Kim’s health is closely watched internationally as his sudden death could raise questions over succession and stability in the nuclear-armed state. Kim’s “health condition is classified as extremely obese, weighing over 140 kilograms (about 310 pounds),” lawmaker Youn Kun-young said
