SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is estimated to be experiencing significant sleep disorders and to weigh around 140 kilograms, lawmakers quoted South Korea’s state intelligence agency as saying Wednesday. Director Kim Kyou-hyun of the National Intelligence Service delivered the report during a briefing to the parliamentary intelligence committee, according to key ruling and opposition members of the committee.
He said the NIS also stated that it is closely watching the possibility of Kim falling into a vicious circle of depending more on alcohol and nicotine and suffering worsening insomnia as the North has been importing large quantities of foreign cigarettes and high-quality snacks.
