Health Concerns of Kim Jong Un

South Korean officials report that Kim Jong Un is increasingly obese and seeking foreign medications for high blood pressure and diabetes. His health issues are likely due to stress, smoking, and drinking. There are speculations that he is looking for alternative medicinal substances due to conditions that cannot be treated immediately. Kim's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, is believed to be the heir apparent. Kim's health remains a top concern abroad due to his nuclear-armed nation's increasing confrontation with the United States and South Korea.
