North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's addiction to cheese is reportedly taking a toll on his health.

According to Dailystar.co.uk, Kim who fell in love with Emmental while he was a student in Switzerland, can be seen gorging on Swiss treat time and again.

The 31-year-old tyrant was spotted limping at a ceremony in the capital city that was held to observe the 20th anniversary of KimIl-sung- the founder of the nation.

A Korean source said that Kim's intake of cheese has increased in recent years with the strain of being in power.

To satiate his craving for quality cheese, Kim had ordered three officials to attend a crash course in cheese making, which was declined by the director of an acclaimed French dairy production college.

Kim's fetish for Emmental cheese is said to be slowly killing the leader, who's expanding waistline is a definite sign of his bad health.
