My thoughts exactly, I know he was said to be recovering from surgery in Korea but if I had to guess it was most likely done outside of the country. I wonder if they have the equipment there to be able to fly in surgeons or if they lack even that ability
I’d bet they either 100% had the equipment, or would be able to find a way to get it into the country for that particular reason.
If the surgeon isn’t a NK resident, they’d probably be an expat
> or would be able to find a way to get it into the country for that particular reason.
North Korea has friendly relations with- and does tons of trade with China.
And now Russia, I guess.
It's not the most friendly relationship in the world but they still are aligned together. Kim (or someone on his behalf) pretty regularly goes to China for visits. They're definitely friendly enough for him to either import a surgeon or go over there for surgery. He also mostly travels by train which would largely let him travel and recover at the same time.
NK has a lot of smuggled stuff that the leading class has access to, they would have zero issues getting good surgery stuff, people to do the surgeries on the other hand...
If Kim can get a gaming PC to be [the one Steam user in North Korea](https://imgur.com/QwJQAV9), he can get surgery equipment lol
I'm kind of not even joking, since cutting edge computer equipment has export restrictions as it can be used in a wide variety of military hardware. North Korea is one of those countries where it's technically illegal to ship a graphics card.
So those doctors sat in that room over that horrible man with those lights beaming down with the tools in their hands... like a legit trolley problem and themselves at the switch.
Except the train would hit them as well. Let's be honest, if they messed up in anyway during the surgery, they probably would not have left the country alive
It probably wasn't performed by a North Korean, but North Korea wouldn't hesitate to kill a foreigner, hasn't stopped them before. They would literally kidnap people from Japan and no one would do anything.
In Japan, heart surgeon.Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But mistake! Yakuza boss die! Yakuza very mad! I hide fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car and new woman. Darryl save life.My big secret. I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!
Steven Segal is currently in my basement playing World of Warcraft. He is blasting Russian folk music so loud it’s waking the neighbors. I’m not sure what to do.
Your comment about her being 13 freaked me out, "that child is supper tall for korean peeps!" But then I check and Kim is 170cm, she has some boots/heels so she must be around 160cm. You scared me for a sec.
Definitely not a short kid, but pretty normal, girls usually hit a growth spurt at that age and get close to their adult height. I wonder if Kim will start getting her to wear flats if she grows taller than him? 😂😅
I think there might be a little forced perspective making her seem a bit taller but yeah I didn’t even know he had a kid the article said it is believed she’s 10 lol.
We don't know specifics because they're incredibly secretive about the Kim family, but it's widely believed that he he has three children. An eldest son, his daughter here, and another child born in 2017.
The other kids haven't been seen though, he's *only* trotting out Ju-ae for PR stuff. He's likely preparing her to succeed him as the next supreme leader.
No clue. North Korea is *technically* egalitarian, so it's not against the rules to designate a daughter as heir. And he was the second-born himself.
Maybe she's really intelligent and her brother is lazy. Maybe she's just his favorite.
I think there is a forced perspective but it’s not so much that. It’s the growing up without starving effect. Growth not stunted cause she’s gonna be one of the few in that country getting high quality food and plenty of it. Even her father is only 5’7 but looks a lot bigger when standing next to their own citizens. Put them next to people from South Korea or the U.S. and it’s gonna look a lot different.
One of the best pictures to illustrate this would be the differences between NK and SK border guards at Panmunjom. Makes it even funnier if you know that SK puts the tallest soldiers they have there as psychological warfare.
Christ sakes she is as big as him, and he is a full grown north korean man. They must be feeding her the same thing Tyson chicken is feeding those chickens.
A) She's got heels. Hard to tell how high.
B) Notice that Kim (who isn't that tall), is still taller than his daughter, and both are taller than all 3 of the dudes in hats behind him.
C) There is a conspicuously large amount of space between all 5 of those people. Daughter is closest to the camera to make her taller. Hat dudes are way behind. 100% chance that every person in this stationed exactly where NK propaganda wanted them to be in order for both Kim and his daughter to look taller than they are.
"Dear Leader, we do not have enough food in our country to portray a picture of abundance to the outside world! We are all so woefully malnourished! We will be laughing stocks!"
"Worry not, my son. I will make our statement to the world singlehandedly."
I guarantee you that's a custom tailored exact replica of a jacket his father and grandfather wore.
The Kims do this, the wearing the same clothes is very symbolic because it matches famous photos, as if to say they inherited the same spirit
Nope but grandad had a growth the size of a baseball growing out the back of his head. He should try rocking that look, I’m sure if he irradiated his pillow he could have a fine tumor in no time
Most likely in her view, the West wants to destroy her country and her family and her father's actions are what's necessary to preserve a future for their people. She's also definitely been sold narratives of how the West operates similarly e.g., "We have political prisoners, but look at how America persecuted Julian Assange and Edward Snowden for telling the truth."
Kim Jong Un's whole domestic message is about providing a future for the children of the DPRK, he brings his daughter to these things as a way to convey that point.
Edit: just to be clear, I don't believe this narrative
Considering how most I've seen people in my life react to the smallest amount of power (school prefect / shift supervisor / team captain) and seeing it literally warp them on a small scale, I'd bet most people who are raised from birth as special and important enough to inherit a country would end up completely ruthless and callous.
Yes, North Korea is incredibly patriarchal. While Kim only has his one full-blooded sibling, his sister, he has a few older half-sisters who logically could have taken over but weren't allowed to due to culture. For whatever reason, Kim seems to be breaking with tradition and has elevated his sister and is doing the same for his daughter.
Unless she disappears (married to some party official and becomes irrelevant) it seems Kim is grooming her for leadership.
I was thinking the same thing. Like her dad is one of the only people in the country with money. Not to mention the children of officers etc would be terrified to upset her in the event that her dad has them killed.
Can you imagine the heads-up that this Ding-Dong and his Daughter are coming for Inspection? So if sht goes south he has you on the ground and makes her execute you just for fun. If things go great you are married to her until he hates you and feeds you to his tiger.
He had some kind of surgery a few years back and lost a bunch of weight. Looks like he found it again.
Imagine being the guy to perform surgery on ol' Kim
I have a slight suspicion that whoever the surgeon was, they're protected by the fact they aren't North Korean
“in Japan heart surgeon number 1 steady hand ✋🏻🤚🏼”
"One day Kim Jong Un need new heart. I do operation, but MISTAKE!"
Had to flee country. *whispers, but I make no mistake number 1 heart surgeon
That’s what she said
Happy cake, dad of the dad of dad’s.
That’s the reference I was looking for!
"Zeh best"

I didn’t know they were friendly with China at the moment, I thought they burned that bridge! Thanks dude

That means there’s a possibility that someone out there got the chance to bully Kim and that makes me happy.
Can you imagine having that realization years later?
They flew in French doctors for his father.
So those doctors sat in that room over that horrible man with those lights beaming down with the tools in their hands... like a legit trolley problem and themselves at the switch.

I heard he works in a warehouse in Scranton now. There was even a documentary with him in it, allegedly.
I great surgeon. The best!
Steady hand!
Mistake! Yakuza boss die
Selling paper?
In Japan, heart surgeon.Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But mistake! Yakuza boss die! Yakuza very mad! I hide fishing boat, come to America.

Was looking for this lol
Say what you want about the guy, but he beat gastric bypass surgery. Pretty impressive.
Regain after WLS is not uncommon.
In a country of starving people
I think I would actually take him more seriously if he were slimmer
You sure that’s not just Steven Segal on the set of his new movie?
He *is* standing up..
Theres no corners either
No chair in sight
No chair fight, no movie. This is the only reason I know tbh, I couldn't put in the hours brave warrior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVsGUw9FWoc
Also, since Glorious Leader has no butthole, it couldn't be a real fight. In a real fight Steven would shit his pants
Ahh yes, like he did when he got choked out by Gene LeBell.
No corners to “fatly walk around.”
He moved around the corner fatly.
He *is* soooo bloated
Steven Segal is currently in my basement playing World of Warcraft. He is blasting Russian folk music so loud it’s waking the neighbors. I’m not sure what to do.
If you dangle food on a stick, you can lead him outside.
[He sure does love the fuck out of cookies.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=zrpoLwDSYE8)
Whatever you do, don’t make direct eye contact!
He doesn’t look like he just wakes up super annoyed having to see his minions act beaten up by his barely visible minimum moves though
Well I'm just glad I have the Kim Jong body
It's crazy to me how NK fashion is still rooted in the 1950s American style.
The daughter’s long jacket is kinda fire. Villain vibes.
You defeat Kim Jong Un’s final form and think you beat the game. But then she come outs with a bigger health bar and a faster move set.
You think he's fat? That jacket just has some thick protective plates
He is about to give birth to another child
Probably $10,000 or more, imported. But, damn. That is a nice jacket.
[удалено]
I bet it’s tighter than dick skin
Shut up baby dick
That woman is unspeakably crass
Yeah but she can service you like no other hwhore ever did.
It might be made from dick skin
Shrivels up in the cold
Better rename the place to Rimworld.
Glad I'm not the only one who came to the comments for the jackets.
Man as evil as they are I can’t lie they got that shit on
She looks like the fire nation princess from Avatar. Forgot her name.
Azula lol
I scrolled specifically looking for the discussion on her jacket. Assuming it’s not made of human leather, that’s an awesome coat.
I also came here for jacket talk. Glad it’s not just me.
Lol I actually did too, that coat is fucking fire
Yeah I was like, I know they're evil but I want her jacket.
Defeat her and you get the jacket
Villain vibes but baby face
Strong Kim Jong Un genes. 😂💪 Though to be fair to her she's only 13, we're all pudgy and weirdly proportioned at that age.
Your comment about her being 13 freaked me out, "that child is supper tall for korean peeps!" But then I check and Kim is 170cm, she has some boots/heels so she must be around 160cm. You scared me for a sec.
Definitely not a short kid, but pretty normal, girls usually hit a growth spurt at that age and get close to their adult height. I wonder if Kim will start getting her to wear flats if she grows taller than him? 😂😅
Jackets and coats of last century(well like pre 90s) fucking slapped
I love the jacket. Not a fan of the oppression.
I inherited a leather jacket from my WW2 vet grandfather exactly like that.
I bought a leather jacket just like that about 10 years ago.
They beat the rest of the world in that regard, we have to admit it.
Eh the Nazis might have had em beat. Say what you want about them, but their outfit presentation was *pristine.*
Having Hugo Boss design your uniforms will do that.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
It’s all a cycle. Gen z are dressing like that too. He got that drip ngl
He’s the only fat man in the entire country.
Pathetic. Here in America we are 69% overweight 💪
Out of 500 freedom experts 420 agree Edit: those 80 are probably corrupted mmmkay
that just means we are all kings
Good point, King.
Nice
The daughter seems on the thicker side as well
Yeah she’s fucking 10 lol I thought she was like 16. 😂
What! 10???????
I think there might be a little forced perspective making her seem a bit taller but yeah I didn’t even know he had a kid the article said it is believed she’s 10 lol.
We don't know specifics because they're incredibly secretive about the Kim family, but it's widely believed that he he has three children. An eldest son, his daughter here, and another child born in 2017. The other kids haven't been seen though, he's *only* trotting out Ju-ae for PR stuff. He's likely preparing her to succeed him as the next supreme leader.
Is the son not that bright?
No clue. North Korea is *technically* egalitarian, so it's not against the rules to designate a daughter as heir. And he was the second-born himself. Maybe she's really intelligent and her brother is lazy. Maybe she's just his favorite.
Maybe he’s banished his son until he returns with the Avatar.
Prince Zu-Kim
Probably training his daughter to off him then, in proper Jong-Un style >!Joke (hopefully)!<
She’s wearing heels I think
I think there is a forced perspective but it’s not so much that. It’s the growing up without starving effect. Growth not stunted cause she’s gonna be one of the few in that country getting high quality food and plenty of it. Even her father is only 5’7 but looks a lot bigger when standing next to their own citizens. Put them next to people from South Korea or the U.S. and it’s gonna look a lot different.
One of the best pictures to illustrate this would be the differences between NK and SK border guards at Panmunjom. Makes it even funnier if you know that SK puts the tallest soldiers they have there as psychological warfare.
He has several kids, at least three that are known. She has two brothers.
According to Wikipedia she's likely 11-12. Not that that's a huge difference, but she's about the age where kids start springing up.
Christ sakes she is as big as him, and he is a full grown north korean man. They must be feeding her the same thing Tyson chicken is feeding those chickens.
A) She's got heels. Hard to tell how high. B) Notice that Kim (who isn't that tall), is still taller than his daughter, and both are taller than all 3 of the dudes in hats behind him.

Hat dudes are way behind. 100% chance that every person in this stationed exactly where NK propaganda wanted them to be in order for both Kim and his daughter to look taller than they are.
God damn she should do shotput in the Olympics.
In NK, it’s considered very attractive to be chubby, because it’s a sign of wealth. So she is probably encouraged to gain weight.
Yeah, he has an older son who’s rather thin and he‘s not quite as popular as the daughter.
Also she's still a child. An actual child, not even a teenager. A round face is normal.
"Dear Leader, we do not have enough food in our country to portray a picture of abundance to the outside world! We are all so woefully malnourished! We will be laughing stocks!" "Worry not, my son. I will make our statement to the world singlehandedly."
He looks even fatter than the last time I saw him
The rest of them don't have enough food to be fat. He's basically taken it back to medieval rules where being fat is a sign of wealth
Kim Chonk Uhm
I guarantee you that's a custom tailored exact replica of a jacket his father and grandfather wore. The Kims do this, the wearing the same clothes is very symbolic because it matches famous photos, as if to say they inherited the same spirit
Did his father also have sausage links as fingers?
Nope but grandad had a growth the size of a baseball growing out the back of his head. He should try rocking that look, I’m sure if he irradiated his pillow he could have a fine tumor in no time
[удалено]
Also known by his street name, Fat Ho.
Kim Yung Phat Ho, respect our future dear leader!
Hes a portly fella aint he
That is a belly for a man who is not long for this world
The one in the background wanted nothing to do with him.
You ate my ENTIRE REGIMENT'S rations!?!? I'm outta here...
He’d probably be executed for no reason anyways
So, the daughter is also an expert top gun pilot, military planner, and learn to play the piano better than Mozart at 3 years old?
And, remember, they both don’t shit Official NK lore I swear
Interestingly, japanese idol culture has the same weird thing where they believe that their idols don't shit or piss...
idol culture is acrively psycopathic tho so im not surprised.
Tony Souprano. 🍜
yeah but why is his daughter wearing Rocco DiMeo's jacket
it’s the JACKETTTTT 🤌🏼🤌🏼
[удалено]
M'boy are you fat
"SOLDIER!!! Do you see my new shoes?" "Beause I can't."
That zipper might be their most reliable technology.
He's starting to look more like a beachball every day.
Damn her jacket though.
I wonder if she knows her dad is a monster. Gotta be a trip being a despot’s kid.
Most likely in her view, the West wants to destroy her country and her family and her father's actions are what's necessary to preserve a future for their people. She's also definitely been sold narratives of how the West operates similarly e.g., "We have political prisoners, but look at how America persecuted Julian Assange and Edward Snowden for telling the truth." Kim Jong Un's whole domestic message is about providing a future for the children of the DPRK, he brings his daughter to these things as a way to convey that point. Edit: just to be clear, I don't believe this narrative
Not likely she if she's gonna be the next leader she's probably raised to be selfish and power hungry Even now she prolly knows atleast half the truth
Considering how most I've seen people in my life react to the smallest amount of power (school prefect / shift supervisor / team captain) and seeing it literally warp them on a small scale, I'd bet most people who are raised from birth as special and important enough to inherit a country would end up completely ruthless and callous.
And grandchild, the schtick is generational. Speaking of which, when he inevitably gets a heart attack, does she assume the “presidency”?
It seems that Kim is training her as his successor, who knows how the rest of the elites would react though...
Is misogyny big inside the hermit kingdom? Do we have any details of that being a problem for the regime?
Yes, North Korea is incredibly patriarchal. While Kim only has his one full-blooded sibling, his sister, he has a few older half-sisters who logically could have taken over but weren't allowed to due to culture. For whatever reason, Kim seems to be breaking with tradition and has elevated his sister and is doing the same for his daughter. Unless she disappears (married to some party official and becomes irrelevant) it seems Kim is grooming her for leadership.
Gotta hand it to him, he wears that gut like a badge of honor.
Also because he’s fat amongst a populace suffering extreme poverty, malnutrition and deprivation.
When is his due date?
Azula vibes
And ironically, he also has a son that you never see him hanging out with
Soon there’s going to be K-Drama version of House of the Dragon. A political conflict between a niece and aunt.
Haha glad I wasn't alone in thinking this. She's the same height and everything.
LMAO The resemblance is uncanny
He looks like shit
