SEOUL, Nov. 2 (UPI) -- South Korea's intelligence agency regularly checks North Korean leader's health condition, using a computer program for three-dimensional analyses of human bodies.
The agency analyzes changes in Kim Jung Un's body shape using the program that scans his body in videos he appears, an anonymous intelligence official told South Korean Yonhap News.
The officials said that the National Intelligence Service ran the program at a parliamentary audit on Wednesday.
The program compares changes of Kim's body shape and detects possible health problems he could have. For example, when he walks with his hands behind his back, the program can identify several possible health issues, including back pain, according to the report.
The NIS told lawmakers that Kim has "a family history of high blood pressure and diabetes" but his health is in "good condition."
The agency also had dirt collected from North Korea's nuclear test site in Punggyeri, right after its explosion. The North said it dismantled the Punggyeri nuclear test site in May, the first step for denuclearization of its nuclear weapons. However, the dismantlement ceremony was only watched by invited international journalists, raising an issue of verification.
The NIS also used to collect radioactive materials from the East Sea when it detects artificial earthquakes in the North, triggered by nuclear weapons tests.
