January 1, Kim Jong-un Rides White Horse in Bizarre New Propaganda Video

North Korea ran a bizarre new propaganda video on its state-run TV, featuring Kim Jong-un riding a white horse.

A white horse is said to be a symbol of his family’s rule.

The footage came as part of a documentary titled The Great Year of Victory, 2021. The narrator addresses Kim’s 44-pound weight loss, which had previously sparked health concerns.

“He showed us his fatherly side by doggedly braving snow, rain and wind while taking on the fate of the nation and people like his own children,” the narrator says.

“His body completely withered away, and he showed his motherly side by greatly suffering and worrying to realize the dreams of the people.”

But Dr. Kenneth Dekleva, a former physician-diplomat at the U.S. State Department, say Kim’s dramatic weight loss likely came from a gastric sleeve operation.

“The rapidity and amount of his recent weight loss is consistent with a bariatric surgery procedure, probably a gastric sleeve or bypass procedure,” Dekleva said.
