Jambo, Goodbye Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There is currently no successor out in the open. You don't really get a second in command in NK. Jong-un is the leader and that is unquestionable and unchallenged in their government system. Any talk of her being the heir is purely outside speculation, for a woman to be the leader, is unprecedented and wouldn't go down well in a highly patriarchal system. But her bloodline certainly puts her in a strong position as nobody outside the family can or will be next unless there is a coup. Jong-un does have an older brother and a son, who is about 2 or 3 years old but he's never been shown, even on NK TV as far as I know. The generals in NK found it hard to accept a young Jong-un as their leader and would probably not take kindly to a woman taking charge but then there does appear to be literally nobody else. Jong-un really needs to stick around for the next 30-40 years ideally from the WPK's point of view. Some experts think it's credible that he's had heart surgery and he certainly needed to delegate power to several people to relieve his stress (and political responsibility in a failing economy), others are still leaning towards him being in a coma. Those others being people in South Korea with sources in China. I reckon he's still bed-ridden and it was his double who was cutting that ribbon recently, he was seen in 2017 at a missile launch I believe. A lot of people who study NK do seem to hold the opinion that Jong-un is the lesser of the evils. He has a westernized perspective in a few regards owing to his schooling in Switzerland, like his love for basketball. His sister was there too I believe. Dunno much more about her upbringing than that. Think she is currently the head of Propaganda in NK. I'll ask some of my Korean friends what they make of the latest news, like everyone else though, I suspect it'll all be guesswork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly at a factory opening or something like that. There was no verification on when the photographs were taken or when the event was. Facial recognition experts cast huge doubts on whether it was him or not His sister has been making an awful lot of decisions since then which is very unusual. It was her that blew up the North/South liaison office. How much did you hear of her beforehand? I think he's bollocksed and for whatever reason they're just biding their time to tell the world that his mental sister has taken over.
