Kim Jong-un is Binge Eating to Deal With Fear of Assassination

The North Korean regime has a habit of popping into the news cycle a few times a year due to their horrifying antics. Either they’ll execute a few dissidents, arrest some tourists, or threaten the world with nuclear annihilation. The media puts them in the spotlight for a few weeks, but quickly moves on to more important things once we all remember how backward and irrelevant that country truly is.

But it seems like every time North Korea shows up in the news, their dear leader is fatter than he was before. Have you wondered why that is?

According to South Korea’s intelligence agency, four years of ruling North Korea has taken its toll on Kim Jong-un, who now weighs 300 pounds. The man is binge eating and packing on the pounds over the constant stress of his job. Of course, dictators don’t get stressed by the same things that bother democratically elected politicians. Instead, Kim is stress eating over his fear of being assassinated. Specifically, he fears reprisals for ordering the executions of high level North Korean officials.

According to Lee Cheol-woo, a member of South Korea’s conservative party, “He keeps a close tab on any potential threats to his power, including the military, and he is obsessed with ensuring his personal safety.” Throughout his rule, Kim Jong-un has spent $200,000 on imported whiskey from Europe, as well as thousands more on scallops from China, and cheeses from Russia and Italy. Kim is also a heavy smoker and suffers from insomnia.

As for why South Korea is concerned with his health, they fear that his deleterious habits could destabilize North Korea. If he dies prematurely and it could cause a power vacuum in North Korea’s government.
