In the picture published today in local media, Kim weighs about 20 pounds [20 kg] less.

Kim's health is an important topic in Seoul, Washington, and Tokyo, since he has not publicly announced a successor who would control the North Korean nuclear program if he is no longer able to carry out his task.

Analyst from the Korean Institute in Seoul, Hong Min, believes Kim did not want to draw attention to his health with his appearance.

“If he had health problems, he would not appear in public and call a plenary meeting of the Workers' Party Central Committee,” said Hong.

When talking about the state of health of North Korean leader last year after he missed celebrating his late grandfather's birthday, some analysts speculated that Kim Yo Jong's younger sister could be heir.
