The Supreme Leader has prompted speculation in the country after appearing visibly slimmer in recent interviews. Speaking to Korean Central Television on Friday, one member of the public voiced their concerns over Mr Kim’s health.
They said: “The people were most heartbroken to see the respected General Secretary looking thinner.
“Everyone is saying that they are moved to tears.”
It is the second time Mr Kim’s health has been in the spotlight this month.
Workers’ Party of Korea’s (WKP) rules show a new role of first secretary has been setup.
The position provides the powers to rule the nation if the leader is unable to.
NK News, a site providing analysis of North Korean news, claimed the state has “begun to make preparations for the sudden death or, more likely, long-term incapacitation of North Korea’s current leader”.
The news outlet stated: “This decision probably indicates that Kim’s health is not good.”
The new WKP guidelines, obtained by NK News, were given the green light at its eighth party congress in January.
