In recent photos and videos with Putin, he seems a bit taller. Assuming both are wearing lifts could he really be in the 1,70 range?

If anyone overstates their height by more than 2cm, we should make clear the ridiculousness of their claim by pointing out they exaggerate their height more than Kim Jong Un. He'll be the standard for excessive height exaggeration.

he wears shoe lifts that add like 3 inches to his height his dad was 5'2 and I'd say he's no more than 5'3 1/2 with the shoe lifts he's about 5'6 1/2.

Hi Rob
So his 171 cm claim might be true and valid as an out of bed measurement ?

He was seen next to the south Korean president who's listed at 5'6 and he was wearing height boosted shoes, and he was still shorter. I think 5'4, 5'4 1/2 on a good day (his father was 5'3)

Depending whether Putin is 5'6 or 5'6.5" and Whether Xi Jinping is only 5'10 or 5'10.5"Moon Jae looks at least 1"taller than the former and 3"shorter than the latter,So 5'7 or 5'7.5".Edging the very honorable 168-69 Kim Jong Un who might be wearing lifts.Maybe 1 or 1.25" when counting slight footwear advantage for Kim(Moon wore some thick shoes on that occasion).
Not that I'm unhappy about it since it's very helpful for the site but it's funny what some cameramen are recording at times,I remember how once a cameraman spent a whole session focusing on someone's trousers which was not zipped.

Wait I just took that video at face value and thought he didn't have lifts. He looks near 5'7 there and if he had more than 0.5-75 footwear over donald then I cannot see how he is much above 5'6.
Might be even shorter than Putin

Those shoes are merely made thicker because he suffers from swollen feet, due to the 30-mile runs he does before breakfast everyday.

Carefully Rob! The supreme leader is a solid 6'4". According to recent polls conducted by the man himself, 99,9% of the North Korean people can vouch for that.
Editor Rob every night I pick up the phone and a high pitched crackly voice on the other line says 'Apologise immediately and swiftly change supreme leader height or we will declare war on celebheights.com'

Editor Rob my friend, having doubts about the Supreme Leader's height is not advisable.

Everybody in North Korea knows that their gracious and superior leader is a strong 6 footer and that he is the best sharpshooter in the world.

Editor Rob Kim Jong was once a tall guy, he is the only man in the world who has had leg-shortening surgery.
It took him 5 days to recover. On the 6th day he took part in a 100m sprint and came FIRST, whilst running backwards...

Why is he listed as 5ft9 (175cm) on Google and other sites when his "official" height is 171cm?

Josh Jeffords,
I belive north Korea has " Approved " hairstyles for men. I belive they have 30 of them. If you don't wear one of the Approved cuts, you will be executed.
Rob,
I guess Kim Jong Picked the one hairstyle that would add the most height( Out of the 30 Approved) to his fat little frame. I Give him credit for that. Plus his little female high heels must add something.

Editor Rob yes Fish, since he was being given 171cm by North Korea, I think being over it is unlikely 😆

He is one thousand seven hundred and ten millimeters tall and keep in mind that as a great leader of the last democratic bastion he is carrying the entire population of Korea on his powerful shoulders.

Editor Rob Johnny, Kim can look about 5ft 7, but remember he is quite modest.
he walks shorter and cuts out the inside of his shoes to trick his enemies into thinking he's short...then he borrows his Father's elevator boots and the enemies drop dead of shock.

I'd say he looks 5'6 but his rotund frame makes him appear shorter, having a slender physique will make you feel and look taller for sure.

I was under the impression he was 5'4. How tall was his father and grandfather? I'd like to see listings for them as well as Fidel Castro, Mao, former Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu, and Benito Mussolini.

Editor Rob the former Supreme Leader could pull off looking 5ft 4 range at times...but of course it was rumoured he wore lifts.
Certainly I think Kim Jong Un looked taller beside his father than someone like Putin could look.

Very small build for such a fat guy. His frame is very narrow, but yeah I think he is at least five seven. Taller then average for his country for sure
Any estimates on his weight? I would think maybe 200 range

The thing is, Rob.... they're ALL short as hell. Seriously. I think North Korea is one of the shortest countries on average in the world. So believe it or not, even a 5'6" guy can look above average in North Korea. I guarantee if Tom Cruise met with Kim, he'd have him by 1-2 inches, and I don't think Cruise is the 172cm he's listed here.
