Is he dead? North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un replaced by a double?

Over the course of the past year, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un had disappeared from public view for months, which had fueled the rumor mill enormously. One theory even suggested that Kim Jong-un had died and been secretly replaced by a doppelganger. Now a TikTok user is comparing photos of the dictator.

Once again, bizarre conspiracy myths and crazy rumors are circulating on the Internet, this time involving North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. One theory even says that the ruler of the Asian country died last year and was then secretly replaced by a double. Now a user even wants to prove the death of Kim Jong-un with the help of a photo. “I’m going to show you why so many believe that the supreme leader of North Korea was replaced with a double last year,” @dimiadams wrote in his video posted on TikTok. Previous year, Kim Jong-un was reportedly in very poor health and even had to undergo heart surgery, according to unconfirmed information. Then, just a month later, the dictator had a very different face during an appearance. Has Kim Jong-un been replaced by a double? This is why @dimiadams on TikTok compares two different photos. These photos show Kim Jong-un before and after his alleged heart surgery. The TikTok user claims to see numerous differences in the photos. “If you compare the pictures closely, you can see that many things are different. The teeth have a different shape, also the ears are more flush on the double and in general the person has a different look,” @dimiadams explains in his video. “Hence the theory that the heart surgery was fatal, he was replaced with a double because the North Korean government just wants the system to keep running,” the TikToker concludes.

Also this year, Kim Jong-un’s appearance had already been discussed. For in the meantime, the dictator is hardly recognizable. For Kim has lost a tremendous amount of weight in recent months. Some experts believe that the dictator secretly performed several plastic surgeries in South Korea. Or perhaps the enormous weight loss has simply changed Kim Jong-un a great deal. In any case, the theory of a double continues to be debated. “Ok, other theory: he’s not dead. What if a double replaces him until the real one is fit again because he doesn’t want to show weakness?” another user brings up another theory. “That’s the most reasonable theory in my eyes,” another TikTok user agrees with him. Another user then has another theory ready, “I think the Double was there before so the people think he’s fine. The last one is really him. You often lose a lot of weight after surgery like that.” In any case, we can be curious whether the truth will ever come to light.
