A report from the British newspaper "Mirror" has revealed a new "secret" related to the life of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. According to the British paper, Kim Jong-un now uses a special toilet that he takes with him during his travels.
As reported by "Mirror," a special toilet has been designed for the North Korean leader, allowing him to relieve himself even while traveling in a car. The newspaper cited Korean sources stating that Kim's idea of integrating toilets into his cars stems from security concerns. The sources added that the North Korean leader fears that any samples of his urine and feces could fall into the hands of outside parties, which could enable them to obtain medical information about him.
According to the sources, Kim's private train and his cars, including a bulletproof Mercedes, have been modified to include a toilet. Recently, there have been suspicions regarding Kim's health, especially after he appeared in his latest public appearances having lost a significant amount of weight.
Sources suggest that Kim may be suffering from a serious illness, while North Korean media have denied this hypothesis, stating that the leader follows a healthy diet.
A photo of Kim taken during the 8th Workers' Party Congress, published by the Korean Central News Agency, sparked controversy regarding his health. According to the South Korean news agency "Yonhap," Kim's shirt collar was not tight, allowing for a finger's width of space, which is considered a basic rule for wearing Western-style suits. This image contrasted with one of Kim from November 17, when he appeared at a commemoration ceremony for his late father, Kim Jong-il, in Pyongyang, wearing the traditional attire known as "people's clothing," with his neck closely fitted to his shirt collar.
The South Korean agency noted that Kim's appearance was due to his weight loss, which remains significant compared to his height. The National Intelligence Service stated last October that Kim had lost around 20 kilograms from 140 kilograms in 2019.
