The North Korean ruler has been advised to cut back and exercise more regularly by his physicians and wife. He appears to be disregarding these requests, though. Kim reportedly travels with his own toilet on his few excursions overseas to avoid spies from searching his faeces for evidence since he is so worried about word of his illness getting out.
Last year, Kim Jong Un, who is notorious for keeping his personal affairs quiet, was seen clutching his daughter's hands as she made her debut in front of the world. The leader's daughter was shown clutching Kim's hand as they examined military equipment while standing next to him in a white puffer jacket in images released by the state agency.
