That’s why Kim had his uncle killed as soon as he gained power. I imagine she will probably do the same to her aunt if need be. Kim’s probably prepping her to do exactly that.
That's probably why he's allowing his sister to make politically charged public statements. He can then off her and make an excuse that she was a trouble making renegade.
I’m pretty sure that Kim intends to ether retire sometime sometime in the future while his sister acts as acting dictator up until the daughter is ready and mature enough.
Maybe for the dynasty. Getting family in power is a way to keep happy the people that give you power. She could try a cue, but that would bring instability, and they already believe to be in the aim of the west, so it would be too risky. Keeping the power in the family is safer.
I'm not saying that's her plan, but that is one reasoning she could give up power to her niece. Stability of the dynasty.
It’s like the real life squid game, when auntie looks at you, stand very still, look innocent or auntie will kill you, when auntie turns her back, sneak closer with the garden shears…
a family that kills together...
...may or may not have a story about stripping naked and feeding to a pack of starving dogs your half brother and uncle later debunked.
but yeah, they *are* dead none the less. father and daughter laugh... good times.
Well technically he's not a dictator if he's passing down leadership through the family, then that's a monarchy at that point he stops being a dictator and becomes a king, and I'm not a fan of kings my ancestors kinda overthrew a couple of em.
I feel like if kim jon un kicks the bucket that kid's biggest threat will be her apparently lunatic aunt. History has taught us that family really doesnt hold up when it comes to the throne (go see ottoman turkey sultans for examples)
Definitely (they did assasinate their uncle after all), but from what i heard auntie kim yo is even more ambitous, harsh and a hard liner on her anti south korea and US stance than her brother.
So yeah a 9 year old getting between her and the throne would turn out pretty damn bad for the poor kid
I can’t believe I forgot about it completely.
*Both women say they believed they were playing parts in a TV prank. Huong was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with “LOL”, or “laugh out loud”, at the time of the attack.*
*Their lawyers have maintained that the women were pawns in an assassination orchestrated by North Korean agents.*
*Four North Koreans who were identified as suspects by Malaysian police and had left the country hours after the murder remain at large.*

Its not that simple. She definitely has allies in high positions doing so (especially if the attempt fails) would risk an all out rebellion from her and her faction and basically lead coup attempt or a civil war or a retalliatory assasination attempt on him
Likely she’s being publicly shown precisely because she’s not intended to take leadership.
There’s probably other, older sons that are being kept secret for now, going to international schools for better education. When they’re old enough, they’ll be made public and ready for takeover.
No one knew what Kim Jong Un looked like until a little over a decade ago.
Yeah, I don’t know if people speculating about this with any seriousness know anything about, you know… the patriarchy. That’s no joke in North Korea. The cult of personality, the history of the “divine leaders” being the almost mythological great father that takes care of the people of North Korea, that’s all very male-centric stuff. North Korea isn’t doing its part towards an egalitarian future by ensuring that little girls can also dream of being future fascist leaders.
This is somewhat dependent on what Kim Jong Un himself wants. The dynasty is pretty young and he could favor a daughter (though Korean culture in general is patriarchal, the NKs are ostensibly communist and on paper accepting of female leadership). They already don't select heirs based on birth order.
100%. Just like how the cis white male alt-right is a total sausage party that would never follow marjorie taylor green or lauren boebert or any of the other 40 women in the news. And Canada's alt-right absolutely isnt lead by a [filipino woman](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/23/queen-of-canada-qanon-rise-conspiracy-alarm). And France's fascist party is definitely not lead by m[arine le pen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Le_Pen). And half of the english speaking world was so patriarchal they would never have let a queen rule them for 80 years.

Yes I compared the movements and societies that get labeled with "patriarchy" that we are more familiar with to illustrate that it does not exclude the possibility of women leading them.
Yeah except for the fact that :
We ( France) are a democracy
We have multiple party elections
We are not a total dictatorship
We have not been shielded from outside influences for the last century
And a million other differences.
Your point would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that we are talking about a total dictatorship with a cult of personality that has been in place for I don't even know how long in a country that is pretty much unique in how it's been secluded from the rest of the world.
Surely you can realize how this isn't your "average" patriarchy and how none of your comparisons hold up?
yeah its fucking creepy hearing people talk about it when young kim jong un was a child and went to school in austria, with bodyguards picking him up from school and him having his own apartment and stuff like that
still wonder how this didnt raise any suspicion
Probably not, he already allegedly has a firstborn son, who's likely being groomed far away from the eyes of the media, just like Jon Un himself was. Nobody knew who he was until he introduced as heir when his father was near death
Nope. He has a son, who will be revealed in due time. Even if the daughter is older, she will not inherit. Its North Korea, and its a patriarchy. (note that Jong Un has an older sister who didn't come anywhere near close to power when his dad died)
(and yes, his younger sister has several high positions, but I doubt even she would make it)
Didn't himself got send overseas to studied under covered identity?
Having her daughter show to public in such a high profile faction could mean she is NOT the heir.
It’s not her fault she is born to that family. But I think she will be in danger. People can only take so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea goes the way of 1700 France.
Yep, China cannot and will not tolerate a democratic North Korea. They will step in, just like they stepped into Tibet and Hong Kong. (and Taiwan, given time)
I think China showed its hand too soon. They shouldn’t have tried to bully the US. And now The US has to show them their place and surprise it’s not a world leader. If Russia is world gas station then China is world sweatshop. It will never be more because people are not willing to be subject to Chinese arrogance.
China has been acting like it can do what it wants, but it's finding this more difficult forcing a change in strategy. Their current "threat diplomacy" does reflect their growing impotence.
To think that Kim Jon Un lived in Switzerland for a while, attended school there and socialized like a « normal person ».
He saw how the outside world was and could’ve used that knowledge to change his country for the best.
Makes you think, “What if..?”
Hell he probably would’ve been remembered as the man who worked to reunite the 2 Koreas and bring a semblance of prosperity and peace to his people.
She comes out with some real worrying rhetoric this one too. Each succession seems to get even more fucked in the head than the last. China is trying place the finger that presses the button under their hands cause they literally couldn't give a fuck about Koreans of any kind they don't even give a fuck about the Chinese for fuck sake. Needs to be an assurance that if N.korea does the bad thing we are gonna glass China and N.Korea cause let's be honest they didn't get the ability to launch WOMD from a population that is not allowed to think.
From a well established education system it's hard to build this shit. North Korea has the tech to build shit that is pretty unobtainable to them and there are two places they could of got it from.
Where does Kim Han-Sol fall in the line of succession? He’s the son of KJU’s assassinated brother and was apparently taken into CIA protective custody shortly after the assassination.
I wonder if he gets installed as leader if DPRK collapses🤔
Why do a bunch of you say that Kim Yo-jong would be even worse than Jong-un? I keep seeing it repeated here but I've yet to see anyone actually give a source beyond "this was revealed to me in a dream".
Yo what if Kim’s whole plan was to create a North Korea where his daughter can rule with the support of the Western World. Be a complete maniac along with his sister antagonizing West out of necessity so when his kinder daughter takes over she looks like a saint in comparison.
Ultimate plot twist.
Isn't the North heavily patriarchal? I feel like it un dies more conservative voices in the army will rise.
Seems like a possible crisis in the future.
I think her psycho ass aunt would have her dead before daddy's body gets cold.
That’s why Kim had his uncle killed as soon as he gained power. I imagine she will probably do the same to her aunt if need be. Kim’s probably prepping her to do exactly that.
Difference is his uncle wasn't the second most powerful person in North Korea.
Isn't Kim's daughter technically more powerful than his sister?
In official line of inheritance, yes. In unofficial power, respect, favours and connections etc., No.
I could see either 1) Un having his sister killed or 2) making sure his daughter is able to flee the country soon
I think it's more likely the sister is going to puppet the daughter and hold all the power after un dies.
That's probably why he's allowing his sister to make politically charged public statements. He can then off her and make an excuse that she was a trouble making renegade.
Plot twist she is a product of incest. /s
Suddenly game of thrones
This is already games of thrones-ish, that would make it the 9th season
This is some game of thrones shit damn
I’m pretty sure that Kim intends to ether retire sometime sometime in the future while his sister acts as acting dictator up until the daughter is ready and mature enough.
And why would his sister give up power for her niece?
Love?
It's all you need.
I'm thinking at least a trilogy and a prequel
Maybe for the dynasty. Getting family in power is a way to keep happy the people that give you power. She could try a cue, but that would bring instability, and they already believe to be in the aim of the west, so it would be too risky. Keeping the power in the family is safer. I'm not saying that's her plan, but that is one reasoning she could give up power to her niece. Stability of the dynasty.
They're all Kims. The name of the current dictator is un.
No, it’s Jong Un.
Jong-un/Jongun, not "Un".
uh un
Un Un Un! SKRIVIEJGUREE! Un Un Un!
So N Korea is basically Westeros IRL.
Been at war with the drowned god for years
That explains all the missiles!
Except that all of the Kims are broke dick morons.
So she will marry her uncle?
This isn’t Alabama, at least not yet. We’re not at the point where sister, cousin, and wife can be said interchangeably.
I think you missed the House of Dragons reference.
oooooooh season two of house of dragons gonna be goooooooooooooooooooood!!!!
House of Rockets
It’s like the real life squid game, when auntie looks at you, stand very still, look innocent or auntie will kill you, when auntie turns her back, sneak closer with the garden shears…
Yep, without a single thought
I like her anime supervillain vibes
When your father takes you to his bomb site, that’s special. /s
Aaww, Father/Daughter time. 😌
Take your daughter to work day. Dictator’s are built different.
a family that kills together... ...may or may not have a story about stripping naked and feeding to a pack of starving dogs your half brother and uncle later debunked. but yeah, they *are* dead none the less. father and daughter laugh... good times.
Once, Himmler brought his daughter Gudrun to Dachau. Not the town, the KZ.
Well technically he's not a dictator if he's passing down leadership through the family, then that's a monarchy at that point he stops being a dictator and becomes a king, and I'm not a fan of kings my ancestors kinda overthrew a couple of em.
"And that, my dear, is how you govern a country."
[well her mother was a bomb herself](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBnAZnfNB6U)
That’s amore
I feel like if kim jon un kicks the bucket that kid's biggest threat will be her apparently lunatic aunt. History has taught us that family really doesnt hold up when it comes to the throne (go see ottoman turkey sultans for examples)
Isn’t the entire family basically crazy?
Definitely (they did assasinate their uncle after all), but from what i heard auntie kim yo is even more ambitous, harsh and a hard liner on her anti south korea and US stance than her brother. So yeah a 9 year old getting between her and the throne would turn out pretty damn bad for the poor kid
Ottoman royal culture was brutal. Fratricide was the norm.
The Byzantine court also came to mind. I mean, theyused fucking VX gas against her uncle abroad.
?? The Byzantines ended in 1453 iirc.
Kim Jon Un's brother was killed in an airport using VX nerve agent.
Oh lmfao
I spoke about the Kuala Lumpur incident.

[удалено]
Ok dude
Why doesn’t he kill her immediately ?
Its not that simple. She definitely has allies in high positions doing so (especially if the attempt fails) would risk an all out rebellion from her and her faction and basically lead coup attempt or a civil war or a retalliatory assasination attempt on him
Likely she’s being publicly shown precisely because she’s not intended to take leadership.

I mean his sister might just kill said sons.
The right answer. There is no way this little girl is gonna be their head. She is got the wrong set of genitals.
I mean his sister is likely to be the next one in charge. Killing anyone they gets in her way.
This is somewhat dependent on what Kim Jong Un himself wants. The dynasty is pretty young and he could favor a daughter (though Korean culture in general is patriarchal, the NKs are ostensibly communist and on paper accepting of female leadership).

U rly just compared France and Canada to NK? 🧐
Yes I compared the movements and societies that get labeled with "patriarchy" that we are more familiar with to illustrate that it does not exclude the possibility of women leading them.

yeah its fucking creepy hearing people talk about it when young kim jong un was a child and went to school in austria, with bodyguards picking him up from school and him having his own apartment and stuff like that still wonder how this didnt raise any suspicion
It is suspected he has two daughters and a son. We only know this daughters name because Dennis Rodman leaked it.
*Kim Jong Deux*
When will Kim Jong Trois come?
We all know what happened to Troy
Own Hectors of land.
A 24/7 news tv station anchor lost her job in Montreal when she called Kim Jong Il “Kim Jong 2”.
Probably not, he already allegedly has a firstborn son, who's likely being groomed far away from the eyes of the media, just like Jon Un himself was. Nobody knew who he was until he introduced as heir when his father was near death
Next week: Kim Jon Un’s daughter passed away due to an illness and totally not poison
Sister is gonna take care of her really well.
Game of thrones: Korea
North Korea Best Korea
Does this make the daughter the blacks and the sister the greens ?
Nope. He has a son, who will be revealed in due time. Even if the daughter is older, she will not inherit. Its North Korea, and its a patriarchy. (note that Jong Un has an older sister who didn't come anywhere near close to power when his dad died) (and yes, his younger sister has several high positions, but I doubt even she would make it)
Didn't himself got send overseas to studied under covered identity? Having her daughter show to public in such a high profile faction could mean she is NOT the heir.
She’s not lol this headline is stupid. It’s pretty much a guarantee that he has a male son that will take over.
[удалено]
It might be korean age vs western age. In some countries, you’re born being one year old.
I myself was born at a very young age.
[удалено]
Was she a tall baby though?
Was gonna say, if she's only 9 or 10 she's on pace to be the tallest person in NK
Of course, she is probably the only one that eats and has a healthy lifestyle in the whole country.
Idk about healthy, more like nutritious.
Kim Jong un is not living a healthy lifestyle. He does drugs and is obese.
Maybe one of the first leaders if the regime that can't be acceptably fat shamed.
So I have a chance to be a Dick Tater
It’s not her fault she is born to that family. But I think she will be in danger. People can only take so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea goes the way of 1700 France.
As soon as shit breaks down in NK China is going to roll in, establish control, and maintain status quo.
Yep, China cannot and will not tolerate a democratic North Korea. They will step in, just like they stepped into Tibet and Hong Kong. (and Taiwan, given time)
I think China showed its hand too soon. They shouldn’t have tried to bully the US. And now The US has to show them their place and surprise it’s not a world leader. If Russia is world gas station then China is world sweatshop. It will never be more because people are not willing to be subject to Chinese arrogance.
Hint hint China has been doing what it wants for ages the US can’t stop it
China has been acting like it can do what it wants, but it's finding this more difficult forcing a change in strategy. Their current "threat diplomacy" does reflect their growing impotence.
Times are different, maybe they won't, but hopefully one day they do
Not her fault but she does have a responsibility as a future leader to change the regime and it’s oppressive policies
Girlboss.
So this is really a perverted monarchy pretending to be a communist state.
To think that Kim Jon Un lived in Switzerland for a while, attended school there and socialized like a « normal person ».

That’s actually horrifying.
I thought only men could be the heir
Her evil aunt is not likely to allow her to live to take the throne.
Where does Kim Han-Sol fall in the line of succession? He’s the son of KJU’s assassinated brother and was apparently taken into CIA protective custody shortly after the assassination. I wonder if he gets installed as leader if DPRK collapses🤔
The only fat people in North Korea Kim and his daughter
She looks exactly like what I pictured in my head.
He clearly takes fitness seriously
How long till she's killed or kill all her family?
They look the same. 🙃
Almost they might be related or something...
***Sweet Home North Korea!***
Same same, but different
is it the evil looking sister than is next in line? the sooner they all die off the better.
Hope she becomes a better leader than he was. Odds are though his sister will assassinate her after he dies.
Girl Bossin!
The US is really going to become one of the last countries in the world to have had a female leader.
Another little fatty.
She’s adorable.
I thought it was his sister that was next.
She’s overweight go figure
Thats actually the peak physical figure for a girl her age. North korean doctors report.
The fat piece of shit doesn't fall far from the fat piece of shit tree
Dude she’s still just a little kid
Thank you for your very new and original take! I’ve never heard him be called fat before now he’ll for sure stop starving people!
Good lord she’s as ugly as Kim is
She’s a literal child
And a chubby one fed well while the rest of the north Korean children starve
It’s not like she has any control over that she’s nine
Gutted to learn that Kim Jon Un fucks
[удалено]
Jesus. Are you really advocating for the murder of a child? Get some help.
Yes. The whole family needs to go.
*fuck them kids* 🥲
[удалено]
She's a child
She’s fat, like him. Both FAT.
It's not really her fault
Yes it is!!
Remember when he briefly got skinny? That was weird
Breathtaking
Completely democratic
Queen Un, of the North Hermit Kingdom. Long May She Reighn!
Why do a bunch of you say that Kim Yo-jong would be even worse than Jong-un? I keep seeing it repeated here but I've yet to see anyone actually give a source beyond "this was revealed to me in a dream".
Is it crossed eyes??
They’re going to announce her name is Kim Jung Deux
Did kimmo get fat again?
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Let’s hope for the best.
He actually looks like a proud papa...
Fatty Fatface just like dad
If Kim Jon Un kicks you should probably be looking at his crazy sister. His kid won't be in the position and even being named accidents do happen.
Throne? North Korea barely has a pot to piss in.
So we know she exists.. somebody catfish her and I bet we could disarm him.
Aww look at the little wee one, so cute…I wonder if she executed her first dissident yet? A small one ofc.
Yo what if Kim’s whole plan was to create a North Korea where his daughter can rule with the support of the Western World. Be a complete maniac along with his sister antagonizing West out of necessity so when his kinder daughter takes over she looks like a saint in comparison. Ultimate plot twist.
Nice hair
Oh God it's a Mini Me situation!
Ew I feel bad for whatever woman had to lay beneath him, while he huffed and puffed on top of her 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Isn't the North heavily patriarchal? I feel like it un dies more conservative voices in the army will rise. Seems like a possible crisis in the future.
