South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) briefed lawmakers that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un weighs more than 140 kilograms. The assessment defines his condition as significant obesity, which increases the risk of obesity-related health problems. However, the NIS emphasized that Kim continues to function normally, and no significant signs of other medical issues were identified. The estimates are based on analysis of Kim's public appearances over the years and additional intelligence information. Intelligence agencies worldwide are closely monitoring the health of the North Korean leader due to the importance of leadership stability in a country that possesses nuclear weapons. The current NIS report focused primarily on his weight and overall health assessment, rather than smoking habits observed in the past.
