us officials told several reporters including from NBC news that Kim may be seriously ill recently Kim Jong-un underwent heart surgery according to NK daily a South Korean News website focused on North Korea many people in North Korea were aware that Kim Jong-un was Ill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is said to be fighting for his life and in grave danger after having secret emergency heart surgery but speaking about it was dangerous due to the risk of arrest when North Korea released these images many thought the photos were outdated others said they were doctored and many believed it wasn’t Kim at all but a body double using decoys isn’t unprecedented many political leaders have used body doubles for protection against assassination attempts Adolf Hitler famously used Gustav v as a decoy during a 1971 visit to China Henry Kissinger used a decoy preventing anyone from examining him closely Russian leaders borrow yelson and Saddam Hussein also employed body doubles and even Winston Churchill and Harry Truman used voice decoys during World War II Vladimir Putin uses body doubles for security reasons today given Kim jongin’s prominent position it’s not surprising that he might do the same observers scrutinize the images that North Korea’s State media kcna had released Jennifer Zen a Chinese dissident compared old and new photos of Kim Jong-un noting many differences UK politician Louise mench also pointed out discrepancies such as differences in Kim’s teeth and eyes believing it to be the botox use additionally comparisons of Kim’s ears which do not change significantly with age showed differences that made the authenticity of the images questionable another point of contention is a mark on Kim’s wrist which experts believe could be related to his cardiovascular surgery this Mark was not present in earlier images but appeared in the recent photos indicating a post surgery Kim the images were taken at the Grand Opening of a fertilizer Factory but according to daily NK this event was staged a North Korean Source claimed that the factory was hastily assembled just 2 days before Kim’s visit as ordered by North Korea’s Central Committee the use of body doubles is not new in North Korea toshimitsu shamura a Japanese professor says that Kim jong-un’s father Kim Jong Il used body doubles he asserted that in 2003 a body double not Kim Jong-il shook Bill Clinton’s hand when asked about Kim jong-un’s Health president Trump Ambiguously stated I’d rather not comment on it yet we’ll have something to say at the appropriate time implying he might have more information I I can’t tell you uh exactly yes I do have a very good idea but I can’t talk about it now some people believe Jennifer Zen and Louise mench While others are skeptical according to TMZ the images might be faked however Kim’s surgical Mark appears genuine while there is an ongoing discussion about the authenticity of these images it’s clear that the NK leader doesn’t want you or anyone for that matter to know what his personal status is since these photos were released Kim Jong-un hadn’t been seen for a while but recently he has been out and about from his latest frequent appearances at mainly military and weapon related events in the past few months it appears that he is alive and looking sharp speaking of appearences Kim jong-un’s $10,000 Pino automatic when it comes to his style preferences which enhance his personal appearance Kim Jong-un doesn’t care about respecting sanctions let me explain we all know that North Korea has been at loggerheads with the United States and South Korea for decades and after the nuclear missile launches and Ballistic projects started the United States put a sanction on any import of luxury watches into North Korea to lay some subtext we have already established that Kim Jong-un spent most of his childhood in Switzerland which accounts for his Pon for Swiss cheese however Beyond his love for food his appetite tied for luxurious wristwatches imported from Switzerland knows no bounds following the United States sanction the Swiss government stopped every export of these luxuries to North Korea still surprisingly Kim Jong-un mocked the sanctions by making a public show of these watches in 2019 he opened a John Lewis style store in pongyang and displayed expensive wrist watches like Adidas and Rolex and high-end perfumes in that same year Year Kim Jong-un was seen wearing a $10,000 Pino automatic wristwatch while watching a weapon test in North Korea this act has shown a world power like the US that the North Korean supreme leader has no interest in anyone’s opinion about how he runs his State even if his citizens are starving to death he and the elites must maintain their luxurious lifestyle but there is a lot of mystery surrounding them barricaded windows in the forbid City in 2019 CNN news discovered through a South Korean Source who had an informant in North Korea that a considerable change was made to hundreds of residential homes and hotel rooms in what is popularly called North Korea’s Forbidden City it is not unexpected that a city named forbidden will exist in North Korea given the wide gap between the lives of the populace and the elites it is an exclusive neighborhood in pongyang private to Kim Jong-un and his subordinates it was noted that the buildings in the Forbidden City were fortified with barricaded Windows two images revealing the difference between the apartments in 2018 and 2019 were presented to show that the change was affected during this time the windows were made so it would be impossible to see from outside now there have been a lot of theories from different sources to explain the reason for such complete exclusive privacy out of these theories two provide compelling arguments in favor of the barricaded Windows Dean Cheng of the Heritage Foundation mentioned that Hitmen need High Ground to take out their victims the barricaded windows will prevent anyone from seeing through enough to carry out their vicious act on the Supreme Leader or his associates therefore this is more Kim jong-un’s paranoia than security he knows he is not anyone’s favorite not the us or South Korea so he won’t take any chances with his security or privacy if blocking out the view of hundreds of apartments and hotel rooms will keep him safe from the outside world then why wait another theory is owed to Kim jongin’s blood sucking attitude toward assassination he is known for his irrational killing of disloyal subordinates and some folks believe that the opaque windows are another Omen of his Mass elimination of some disloyal Associates if no one can see what’s going on in the exclusive homes then and the assassination of people and their families will not be a problem this Theory opposes the first in the former reason there is comfort for Kim Jong-un officials because they are concerned for the safety of their leader but in the latter reason there is a need for parano as they are not safe from the wrath of their leader interestingly others have noted that the barricaded windows are just another means for Kim Jong-un to keep the eyes of the populace from seeing the opulent lifestyle in which he and his officials live he doesn’t want anyone to know just how rich he is you may be wondering just how rich he is Kim Jong-un is ranked among the richest celebrities under the category of politicians who are presidents this was discovered by a joint operation carried out by the US and South Korea in 2013 over $5 billion of assets were found in about 200 foreign bank accounts with Kim jong-un’s family members as the account owners according to repo obsession with luxurious cars owning at least 100 of them along with an additional private jet a yacht and a private island in an article Kim Jong-un is said to spend about $2 million daily on maintaining his items without incurring expenses for his military Kim Jong-un lavish living let’s talk more about his lavish lifestyle and undeniable love for Swiss cheese swiss cheese requires a high level of expertise in making as especially the ental which is why the supreme leader sent his people to a French culinary school in 2014 to learn the art Kim Jong-un must have developed this love of food since he was a young child because his father Kim Jong-il raised him in Switzerland aside from his love for expensive swiss cheese there have also been several reports about Kim jong-un’s obsession with other exclusive and expensive foods and drinks the sushi chef the Supreme Leader’s ex- chef attested Kim’s high ponant for French wines Mr Fujimoto is believed to have worked with Kim’s family for over 13 years and has heard that Kim Jong-un had 10 bottles of Bordeaux in one night the Bordeaux wine has a high price tag and can range from different prices depending on the type the price of bordo wine also changes with time and can range from as low as $300 to $23,000 per bottle reports of Kim jong-un’s fondness for expensive items already tell us that he cannot settle for a bottle of cheap Bordeaux spending this much on wine alone in one night is ridiculous when the poverty of North Koreans is considered in stark contrast India Today World desk reported that Kim Jong-un added more weight at the time and the food shortage in North Korea was at its peak he possibly weighed over 300 that’s close to 140 kg he is also known for his smoking habits which have fueled the news especially during the anti-smoking campaign in North Korea during which he visited a children’s camp in pongyang he orders in bulk from Malboro cigarettes in the United States and he has a big interest in tobacco and medications like Zolpidem Zolpidem is a drug used to cure insomnia certain folks have said that his lack of sleep is owing to his paranoia and fear of resting in peace since he is always afraid of some world power taking him out others believe that he can’t sleep due to his all nighter and parties every day Kim Jong-un is known for partying with women at his backck and call while he drinks himself into a stuper independent TV claimed that Kim Jong-il and his father died from a heart attack and were also known for excessive drinking and smoking habits while the whole country suffers from starvation and hunger obesity Remains the norm among the North Korean Elite the Chinese General administr of Customs reported about $30 million that Kim Jong-un spent importing Spirits into North Korea in a year with his favorites being Scotch whiskey and Hennessy cognac in 2019 990,000 bottles of Russian vodka were found to have been transported to North Korea by the order of the supreme leader Kobe Stakes the most expensive beef in the world are also Kim jong-un’s favorite the reason for his excessive eating habits is not far-fetched the drinks business a leading European drinks trade publication stated that Kim Jong-un has been a heavy eater since childhood and has a ponon for junk food this led to the employment of an Italian chef in 1997 to make pizza for him he also spends almost $1 million a year on Brazilian coffee surely all of this lavish spending is something he doesn’t want the world to know because it’s in Stark cont contrast with the life of the average citizen in North Korea despite this Kim jong-un’s personal life remains a subject of Fascination and mystery the next Heir Kim Jong-un has been married to reju a former singer since 2009 and is believed to have three children with the public having only seen one of them in 2022 during a missile launch the Korean Central news agency reported that Kim Jun watched the launch with his wife and his second child and daughter JW I the children are said to have been born in 2010 2013 and 2017 respectively ji has been seen many times in public but the remaining two children remain a mystery to the general public it is unclear why the North Korean dictator doesn’t want the world to know about his other children arguably his paranoia as well as his desire to keep his family safe drove that decision also it can be because he wants the children to live a normal life Without Eyes on them in public so they can go to school without watching their backs either way Kim Jong-un keeps his children a secret possibly to be revealed later this then raises the question of succession in the North Korean regime since Kim jong-un’s surgery there have been different stories from different Outlets as to who will succeed him when he dies since Kim Jong-un brought out his daughter ji for the first time there have been a lot of theories by different news analysts as to her role in her father’s regime the guardian reports that many argue that the repeated appearance of ji in public coupled with the level of respect and reverence given to her makes ji the possible successor to Kim when he dies by any means others believe that her appearance is just a tactic by the dictator to reveal his soft spot by showing tenderness towards his daughter in public however there is more agreement with the first theory that puts ji as the successor seeing that the remaining two children are unknown and haven’t been seen in public once Kim yo Jong Kim jong-un’s sister and a North Korean politician and Diplomat who many believe has the qualities to lead the nation after Kim is another potential successor to take into account but before anyone takes over from Kim Jong-un he’ll spend his days reveling in power and control Kim Jong-un military control and power drunkenness trt World released an article 7 years ago which argued that Kim Jong-un was in control of North Korea’s military forces and arsenals with no military expertise of any sort in the past Kim has never been in the Army his father’s death from a heart attack automatically puts him at the helm of Affairs of his State and Military however most analysts believe he obtained a degree as an army officer at the Kim ilung Military University go miong hun a researcher working at the Asian Institute for policy studies reported to Al jazer what he believed to be the main reason why Kim Jong-un became the heir to the throne even though he was the youngest of Kim jong-il’s children and might not be fit for the throne hierarchically he stated that Kim Jong-un has always had an obsession with power since childhood there have been sightings of him fully dressed in military apparel and clad with rank badges also soldiers have always given him the same respect that was due to a soldier with a higher rank his obsession with power was evident in his Adoration of missile launch projects as his treasured sword Kim jong-un’s obsession with power is not an unknown fact since his leadership and sovereignty have been laced with executions and assassinations and he makes no exceptions assassinations ordered by the Supreme Leader Kim Jong namam his older half brother who was assassinated at quala lumur International Airport in Malaysia is believed to have been liquidated at the Supreme Leader’s command City IA and aan Thang two women from Indonesia and Vietnam respectively a assassinated him he had been exiled since 2003 and was going to maau through the Air Asia flight at 9:00 a.m. he was assassinated with a VX nerve agent the two women were arrested but the charges did not weigh much however four North Koreans were suspected to have been at the airport that morning for that purpose but there was no substantial evidence to back up the assumption that they had anything to do with the murder even though Kim jongnam was able to reach the airport official to report that he was attacked the medical attention he got could not save him he died that morning on his way to the hospital after performing an autopsy on Kim Jong n which North Korea disapproved of it later emerged that North Korean officials stated that the Malaysian government was working with the United States and South Korea to give a false report North Korea believed Kim Jong namam must have died of a heart attack since he had already shown signs of this illness in the past this later resulted in diplomatic issues between Malaysia and North Korea as restrictions were placed on visa-free entries into both countries by citizens of both countries many analysts have argued that everything about the assassination points to the dictator Kim Jong-un most especially every effort by North Korea to reject the fact that Kim Jong n’s death was an assassination despite the autopsy carried out also the fact that there was a strict warning against carrying out such an autopsy gave the supreme leader away as having a hand or being the hand that took the life of his half brother for whatever unknown reason North Korea has a history of foreign assassinations and Kim Jong n’s case was not the only one according to an article released by BBC news on February 14th 2017 five cases of assassinations on foreign soil ordered by the North Korean leadership were recorded in 1968 31 North Korean assassins attacked South Korea’s presidential apartment called the blue house to kill President Park jangi fortunately for the president the commando’s disguise did not fool the security officials on duty and they met with great opposition as the South Korean soldiers stopped them with a crossfire in 1983 four South Korean ministers and 13 other officials were killed in an assassination attempt on President chund Duan during a bomb blast if there hadn’t been a false signal that confused the three assassins about the arrival of the president the South Korean president would have been killed that day also North Korea has admitted to kid napping people from Japan to train its spies in different fields a South Korean film director and his wife have also been victims of this cruel act therefore if there is the assumption that Kim Jong-un was responsible for the death of his half brother Kim Jong Nam with the evidence provided it cannot be far from the truth during kimil Sun’s funeral seven officials who were high ranking in North Korea at the time were with the hearse according to an article released by Andre lankov in 2015 between the time of the the father’s burial and 2015 six officials out of the seven have not been seen in any known events it was like they just disappeared Into Thin Air wpk Central Committee secretary jangs t one of the former officials was arrested and executed in 2013 and the crime he committed was not applauding Marshall Kim Jong-un enthusiastically enough Kim Jong-un did a house sweep for many of the family’s inner circle and a total cleansing that eliminated any history of these officials was carried out it’s undeniable that Kim Jong-un has many enemies which brings us to the next topic Kim Jong-un ballistic Weaponry Kim Jong-un increased security around him after an explosion attacked pongyang the capital of North Korea in 2023 this tightening of security brought about the use of ballistic bags and briefcases made of carbon fiber by the dictator security guards different theories have been offered about the cause of the explosion since pongyang is the capital of the city and the harbor of the Forbidden City the seat of the supreme leader and his officials it is no news that their lifestyle is not the same as that of an average North Korean while the whole country lives in extreme poverty and starvation chokes the land to its peak the Elites in the country enjoy all the good things in life anyone could ever wish for food is Surplus and luxury is the norm among the officials one Theory says that a group of citizens gathered themselves to infiltrate the food truck and steal enough for themselves by creating a distraction with the explosion since hijacking Food Supplies and carjacking are popular crimes in North Korea another theory holds that the dictator himself secretly ordered the explosion to support his use of ballistic protection equipment there have always been reports of Kim jong-un’s paranoia which is unexpected considering his leadership over the years US news reports Kim’s paranoia is Justified seeing he has all eyes on him he always increases his bodyguards who are trained experts and he has involved the help of former KGB agents in training his security officials he keeps his public appearances minimal and rarely travels during the day to avoid falling victim to the plot by the United States and South Korea to assassinate him which explains the barricaded windows in the Forbidden City aside from this location Kim also takes refuge on his Mega Yachts while his people starve to death Kim Jong-un versus North Korean citizens Kim Jong-un lives luxuriously and one of his prized possessions is his Yachts which were made in the United Kingdom for about $7 million it is his greatest Hideout for utmost exclusivity he has many mega Yaks the food shortage in North Korea is at its peak as reports State citizens starve to death on the streets and in their homes while many people have taken to eating anything their mouth can take as their last resort North Koreans eat roots and lay hold of anything and everything just to survive sadly the conditions of living of the citizens in this country are extremely poor while the dictator and his officials have abundance in everything and lack nothing whatsoever North Korea is officially considered a democratic State still the citizen standard of living and the leaders overall attitude show that democracy is just a word on paper views that are contrary to those of the supreme leader are rejected and anyone who holds these views is at risk of being assassinated or murdered in broad daylight you may think that his officials enjoy some protection and cannot be liquidated on a whim well not exactly is anyone safe from Kim’s execution Kim Jong-un has a special treatment for government officials people in his inner circle while the officials enjoy the best of living opportunities with their families they are constantly in danger if there is a perceived threat to someone or a disagreement with a decision the supreme leader has made executions can take place at any time many analysts have tried to compare Kim jong-un’s regime with the of his father Kim Jong-il both leaders have many similarities but one difference stands out while Kim Jong-il and Kim ILS were undaunted and ruthless in their treatment of their subjects especially the soldiers and peasants they were undisputedly soft towards their officials their officials lived a good life and enjoyed their reign far from an unsanctioned threat to their lives unlike Kim jong-un’s regime where the officials live in constant fear they must be careful around the supreme leader their word words and actions can cost them their lives at any time have you heard about any other Secrets Kim jongan might be keeping share your thoughts in the comments below if you enjoyed
