Tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un’s boffins claim to have invented miracle cure for obesity… as famine hit North Korea starves

FOR the past two years rotund ruler Kim Jong-un has been ballooning while his country starves - but now a solution has been found for his porky plight.

His top scientists have revealed they have invented a cure for obesity.

In an article just published by the country’s state media, the pill allegedly works without lifestyle or diet changes.

This is sure to go down well with Communist leader Kim Jong-un who famously has a passion for European cheeses and expensive wine.

The article states: “The pill is believed to be superior to existing remedies of obesity or foreign pills or other means of treatment.”

The extraordinary diet pill was claimed to have been developed after it was experimented on North Koreans in a metabolism research laboratory.

The medicine combines traditional medicines, acupuncture, and medicinal herbs, the article says.

This new so-called cure comes at a time when Kim has become sensitive over his rapidly expanding waist-line.

As reported, North Korean diplomats have made a state request to officials in China pleading for them to stop referring to ‘glorious leader’ Kim Jong-un as FAT.

Ministers have reportedly asked their neighbours to refrain from referring to the chunky food fan as Jin San Pang or ‘Kim Fatty III’ in media or conversations.

But while 20 stone, feast-fanatic Kim may be fist-pumping after news of the discovery, the pills will be no use to his own people - who need to gain weight.

The UN’s World Food Program reports the sanction hit hermit state suffers chronic food shortages and malnutrition.

In fact North Koreans have been ordered to collect human POO to help protect the country’s agricultural sector amid warnings of famine.
