Kim is 5'7", almost 300 lbs. and a heavy smoker. He supposedly has a lot of health problems.

In my book "The Great Successor," I wrote that Kim Jong Un's biggest risk factor was his obvious poor health -- and in particular the risk of cardiac problems.

Kim Jong Un is five feet, seven inches tall, and weighs about three hundred pounds = BMI of 45, or "extremely obese"

it is way more than smoking that is doing him in.
