Kim Jong-Un, the youngest son of Kim Jong-Il, has recently taken over the Secret Police of North Korea. His father made an announcement to the Agency, saying, "You should treat comrade Kim Jong-Un as agency chief. Protect comrade Kim Jong-Un with your lives as you did to me in the past." on a trip to the headquarters in Pyongyang.
Opinion 1: It's not much a surprise that KJU is taking over the DPRK; KJI isn't going to live forever. If there's a good time to take over a depressing totalitarian regime, it's when the leader is still alive to bestow power upon you; then again, KJI might already be dead, for all we know. Of course the "Supreme Commander" would have "disappeared" for a few months- they might have been finding a lookalike and training him to act exactly like Kim Jong-Il. It wouldn't bode well for the North Korean people's morale- no, wait. They all hate him anyway. I mean, it would be beneficial for the government for him to "live on".
Of course, there's also the option that Kim Jong-Il decided to give his son a great birthday present- not that we know that it was his birthday, of course. Information like that dosen't come just quite truthfully out of North Korea.
Opinion 2: ^ are conspiracy theories. Such accusations are baseless and an attempt to slander the Democratic People's Republic of Ko-everuii7i7g8rgfyei3ihdiu-sorry about that. Sneaky spy got on my computer while I was away.
In any case, there won't be any difference to the world based on this. It'll just be another soulless dictator. Unless, of course, KJU managed to escape the brainwashing and decided, "My dad sucks at ruling. When I grow up and take over, I'll let my people say whatever they want and go wherever they please! I'll even listen to what they have to say to me! Hooray! I'll also accept other countries' aid, not be a stuck up pig like my dad and let my people starve in agony and clutter the streets with their rotting corpses! I'll also let more people in to the country and release the rest of the Japanese prisoners which my bad dad kidnapped and left to rot! Yay! Splendorous! Delightful! Non-excruciating!"
Then it would be different. A lot different.
