KCTV conducted a documentary in 2014 portraying Kim limping to a sorrowful melody, with a weeping narrator explaining the health challenges of the leader after his notably prolonged disappearance from the public viewpoint, which was a rare subject in the "herma kingdom," but not completely unheard of.

According to a recent state TV interview, all of North Korea is "heartbroken" to observe the evident loss of weight for Kim Jong-un.

The KCTV broadcaster presented a program that interviewed North Koreans about their reactions to new songs extolling the highest leader and the state.

A middle-aged guy appears to talk to a KCTV reporter on behalf of the whole country, saying that in North Korea everyone is hurt to see the Kim "released."

Early June, after the DRPK leader, made a public appearance after a long public leak and looked visibly slimmer the species about Kim Jong-health un's was revitalized. His "disappearance" kindled rumors last year that he might be comatose – or perhaps dead.
