From what I have read most people expect his sister would take over, recently she was promoted to one of the highest positions in the North Korean government by her brother and the heads of the party seem to like her. There is also the possibility his aunt might take power but it's far less likely. Her husband was the brother of Kim Jung Il and for a long time was considered the second most powerful man in North Korea but was executed by Kim Jung Un relatively shortly after he took power. From what I have read, whether its accurate or not is debatable, but the generals seem to prefer her but she hasnt been involved much with governmental matters since her husband was executed. Kim Jung Un also still has quite a few siblings, most of who arent involved with the North Korean government at all, who could take his spot but they would just be acting as figure heads for either the military or party leaders. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South Korean media is 95% BS. You Christians are so fickle. You claim Shamanism is false yet fear them and believe the screwier ones' false prophecies. Not on News media, I know several other things First, Pyongyang has been lock-downed Second, There is no specific government order which should be mentioned in April and May Third, there is some movement that his sister acts on behalf of Kim Jong Eun. Yes, Kim jong Eun could be alive, but at least there is some incident happened. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough. The point I should have put more effort into communicating was that is the only mention on 38north. A hospital in PY, EU and COVID-19 has been it really.

Myles 14,620 #35 Posted April 24, 2020 I hope he is dead. Mostly because he always seemed like a guy who would want to go out with a bang. Meaning that if he was in his last days, he may want to see his efforts in his nukes put to use while he was alive to witness it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkHunter 2,626 #36 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Apparently the vice president of Hong Kong satellite TV is saying Kim Jung Un is dead, the person making the claim is also the niece of China's foreign minister. But this could be fake, the corresponding pic supposedly of Kim Jung Un dead does seem to be a rather bad photoshop attempt. Reports now of PLA on heightened alert on North Korean border so this might be real. Edited April 24, 2020 by DarkHunter 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkHunter 2,626 #37 Posted April 25, 2020 Still no real reliable information on the state of being of Kim Jung Un, anything that makes any claims uses anonymous sources with no evidence backing it up. What has been confirmed though is that China has sent a team to advise Kim Jung Un that included medical experts. It's not clear if the medical experts were for a coronavirus outbreak or for Kim Jung Un's health. This is just my opinion but if Kim Jung Un is still alive, which no one outside of high level North Korean political and military figures seem to know for certain, he is going to have to make some kind of irrefutable public appearance soon. If anyone in the North Korean government or military wanted to kill Kim Jung Un for whatever reason now when there are rumors he is already dead would be the perfect time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South Korean media is 95% BS. If he die, they will probably find a double to take is place. The double will probably execute his sister and the big shrimps will continue to control the population... The situation will not change until they are not threaten with total annihilation and famine all year long. They survived the last war, US bomber stopped bombing in the Korean war because they were nothing left to bomb in North Korea. The fear of it is still anchored deep in the population and so it's easy to rule over them with despotism. North Korea is like a cornered dog that some crazy people are kicking all day long... near death, scared like hell and trying to bite anything. That's a recipe for disaster.

My guess would be intercepting communications probably with the occasional informant providing information. As for new stuff going on in North Korea new activity has been noticed at an airbase in North Korea, some spots were cleared, viewing platforms put in, and a mobile missile launch platform has been seen at the airbase. Seems North Korea will be launching a short to medium range ballistic missile which seems to be their main go to distraction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susieice 38,409 #48 Posted April 25, 2020 The NY Post just put this up. This one says he's dead according to a source in Hong Kong. A Japanese magazine reports he's in a vegetative state. https://nypost.com/2020/04/25/north-korean-dictator-kim-jong-un-rumored-to-be-dead/ Kim Jong Un is rumored to be dead, according to a Hong Kong broadcast network, while a Japanese magazine is reporting that North Korea’s rocket man is in a “vegetative state” after he underwent heart surgery earlier this month. Other unconfirmed reports, attributed to senior party sources in Beijing, said an operation to insert a stent went wrong because the surgeon’s hands were shaking so badly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
