Kim Jong-un

North Korea's leader  Kim jong-un is apparently losing weight so quickly that people in the country are worried for him.

Foreign analysts noticed the change several weeks ago and on Sunday North Korean TV did a rare segment on Kim's health.

Citizens got a glimpse of their leader on June 4 after a month-long absence from public view and noticed that he was visibly thinner.

In the footage aired by state media, Pyongyang residents were seen watching a big screen on the street showing a concert which Kim attended.  This along with an earlier video that showed Kim looking noticeably thinner compared to footage from four months ago.

A resident said that their leader looks emaciated and it breaks the people's hearts.  Everyone is saying that their tears welled up.

It's not clear why Kim may have lost weight.

This is not the first time there has been speculation about the North Korean leader's health.

His health is tracked closely by the international community since it is thought to be an indicator about his grip over the country's regime.
