There are reports from North Korea that the child dictator underwent a
"cardiovascular procedure" early this month, and that he's been
receiving continuing treatment since then. Kim went to the hospital
on April 11 after a party meeting, and hasn't been seen publicly since
then. His absence from events last week marking the birthday of his
grandfather Kim Il-sung was unprecedented.
In 2016, reports indicated that North Korean officials were concerned
about the child dictator's weight gain, which has grown from 198
pounds in 2012 to 286. Reports indicated that Kim Jong-un is
consuming high-quality cheeses, Big Macs, vodka, steak, and sushi, and
that he's suffering from gout, diabetes, high blood pressure, high
uric acid, and high cholesterol.
