For several weeks rumors of the North Korean dictator’s sickness and ultimately, his death, have been making their rounds in the media. North Korea’s state-run media released photos of  Kim Jong Un that were allegedly taken on May 1, at the opening of a fertilizer factory in Sunchon, N. Korea. Twitter users who’ve studied the images are claiming that the person identified as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is actually his body double.

The images in question are seen in the tweet below:

It is a “well-known fact that Kim uses body doubles,” the International Business Times (IBT) says — and the Sun in 2017 posted video seemingly showing the dictator chatting with some of them.

Human rights activist Jennifer Zeng was the first to draw attention to dissimilarities between the two “versions” of Kim, including differences in their teeth and ears, according to IBT.

“Is the Kim Jong-un appearing on May 1 the real one?” she asked on Twitter along with side-by-side comparisons of Kim’s “old and new” appearances in two separate posts.

 

Rik W claims the gap in the teeth of the “body double” give it away.

 

 

The possibility soon spread across the netosphere, with many sharing side-by-side photos seemingly highlighting differences.

“Don’t know, don’t care. See no reason to alter my earlier stance. These aren’t the same man,” former British Member of Parliament Louise Mensch insisted alongside photos of the Kim at the event and older images.

“The chipped incisor is a definite giveaway it’s not Kim Jong Un,” @SeptAugustus wrote. “So why a body double? If he’s dead why not just announce it and crown his successor?”

Lucas Von points out that the photo has been heavily photoshopped.
