Plot twist: on his deathbed, Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un appoints former Chicago Bulls player, Dennis Rodman as his successor EDIT: Jesus 14k likes? Kim Jong Un, if you’re seeing this… do it!
I think if he died there would be a scenario similar to the death of Stalin. Several members of the Kim family would have to fight it out, the winner probably being the one who has the best relations with the army.
The army top brass are also no fools. They know that generations of brainwashing the citizens where the Kims are regarded as deity, mean that they must install a Kim to power, rather than seize it for themselves (becoming a military junta). Kim Yo-jong wields the most political power, being de-facto second only to Kim Jong-un. But whether or not the conservative country is prepared for a woman becoming supreme leader, is another story. There is the matter of maintaining the Kim name through male heirs. Her political power may be nullified by this factor. Don't forget the influence China has on North Korea. China does NOT want the country to collapse, since it would mean refugees pouring across its border in the event of civil war. China will exert significant influence on the North Korean military and political leadership, to install a new supreme leader favourable to China, rather than allow the regime to collapse.
Those who will be effected most will probably try and influence who the new leader will be. Depending on which leader serves the interest of some people as opposed to someone who is a non factor, If no opposes any leader than anything can happen, if people have certain inclinations than things may run as usual, a family member takes over who is male and who fills the Kim role well in order to maintain everyone's positions and keeps things fairly equivalent.

I'm totally rooting for kim hansol. If you search him up, you'll know he's been educated very well and could possibly unite the two koreas back together.
Imagine if his Sister Kim Yo Jong was chosen as his successor and when Kim Jong Un is at his death bed His sister turns off the Life support and Says "Long live, the Supreme Leader"
Foreign intervention=China. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if there were Chinese troops on the border right now. China, in addition to its territorial ambitions, does not want millions of NK refugees, so they would probably want to contain the situation ASAP.
I don´t think so. The generals owe their career to the Kims and by abandon the Kim dynasty the army would have to explain this to the people. But the whole country is a Kim family construct, the general couldn´t just say: Look, everything we told you since 1948 was wrong, the Kims are no Gods. Impossible. A North Korea without a Kim leader wouldn´t have a psychological justification and would break apart very soon. Kim-ism is the state religion, it is not only about who is in office...
That would cause a civil war if the siblings try to seize the power. Difficult situation indeed. I think in the case that the rest of the family is too incompetent to fight for the power then a military junta would rule the country and maybe, just maybe, that could lead to some kind of democratization. But China most certainly would not like that.

True! that’s what i also see. It’s going to be another Queen Mary the 1st but Kim family version and she will purge those people who are not faithful to her.
@@solanaceous At that point the Workers' Party of Korea would be much more likely to appoint one of their one as leader than someone who probably wants to destroy the regime. North Korea isn't a real monarchy and the WPK is far too dedicated to protecting its own power to follow anyone, even a Kim, into regime change. The WPK could easily change any law or declaration protecting the Kim family's power in the case that the only Kim left is anti-WPK. Passing the leadership through the family is only a convention for the leader to ensure their successor won't reverse their legacy.

Jokes aside he's actually the best case scenario... He said he'll stop the country from being a prick to the neighbouring countries and the US... But you never know :P
The succession will simply be determined by who has the backing of the largest part of the military, as in all dictatorships throughout history. The mystery is that we don't know enough about NK to know who that is.
Hopefully no one person has the backing of a significant part of the military, they'll end up divided and despite the current global situation the opportunity will be taken to reunite the Korean peninsula

Correction, Kim Ju-ae was born in 2013. But in 2012, lots of people noticed Kim Jong Un's wife went missing from the public. But prior people noticed this in 2010, and also in 2017. It is unknown the gender of the 2017 baby, but they recently announced the 2010 child was a boy and there is a son. Though we don't know his name.
This all reminds me of the drama MOON LOVERS. When the emperor of Goryeo died, and he told Hae Soo , " whoever ask how I am feeling , tell them I am asking for more tea, for those who ask if I'm dead, be careful, They are after the Throne " crazy that after such a long time this tradition doesn't seem to fade .
Fun history fact: Kim Jong-un is descendant of Kim Kyong-son , who was a national hero of Goryeo dynasty that defeat Mongol's early invation. He succesfully defend his fortress so mongol just decide to ignore him and head straight to the capital.
Just read about that Kim Han-Sol, he seems like a decent guy... hope he’s still alive and outlives his uncle :\ Admittedly, I first took interest as he’s one letter short of Han Solo 😂
samiamrg7 This guy expressed serious regret about the state of NK and didn’t deny the accusations in interviews, so I kind of doubt he had the same career trajectory in mind as Un.
He's most likely not going to get elected, he's young and perfect for the job yes, but he was seen as too nice by the North Korean Government and the government is also targeting his family. He is currently in hiding.
Informax Oh yeah I’m not saying he’d become their leader, there’s like zero chance of that when he’s publicly spoken negatively about his own family’s cult of personality. I’m just hoping he outlives his murderous relatives so he can go back to having a normal life one day.
That sister looks as evil and treacherous as any medieval monarch or Roman Emperor I bet it would take her about 2 weeks to "eliminate" any opposition.
I can't tell if Kim Yo-jong reminds me more of a Star Trek villain or an Indiana Jones villain. Like, I just totally see her saying: "Once more, you have failed Doctor Jones. And this time, your road is at an end."
If Kim does die Trumpty Dumpty is going to resign his presidency, divorce Melania and then marry Kim's sister, so that he can become a real Dictator, not a wannabe like he is now. Then the Orange Emperor can join the little Dicktakers, I mean Dictators club.
Slight correction. It's believed that Kim Jong-un does have a son, though we know little else about him. Considering the daughter is only eight that means the logical male heir is definitely too young to inherit. This is relevant because North Korea adheres strictly to Confucian moral standards. This means that it would be incredibly difficult for a woman to have any direct position of power. The old guard would never accept it. That is unless, as you suggested, Kim Yo-jong were to do some political jostling and position herself as a sort of regent for her nephew. From what is known about her, she is perhaps the most devious political mind in North Korea. If any woman could fill the top spot, it's Kim Yo-jong. The only other option is chaos and a probable takeover from a Jang Song-thaek type.
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea they are not even talking about Democratically electing a leader?
Scott Clark Though the position of national leader isn’t democratic per say, most of their local governments and work councils are elected democratically.
As said earlier, countries with "democratic" in their name attempt to emphasize that they are, but they usually aren't democratic by any means. Another example is the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Ironically, its neighbour, Republic of the Congo, is more democratic than it.
North Korea is like a Medieval Kingdom in its early stage where the line of succession is not formally established and power transfer happens by last wills and who the kings court trusts the most. 3 Generations is not really long for a kingdom and I think Kim Jong-un dying young without clear successor will end in civil war. Many high-ranking people have much to gain and much to lose backing up different candidates inside or outside the Kim family, or even the nation. If a majority of key figures can not agree on a successor, figuring it out during a power transition might be a catastrophy. So many outside big players are interested in the future of North Korea, if they also can not commit to a single plan, this can be another eternal war.
Out of all of them, Kim Han Sol has my vote, it's obvious he has the urge to make North Korea a better place for people and he obviously is smart enough.
Basically, Kim jong-nam is Uncle Iroh Kim han-sol is Zuko Kim jong-un is Firelird Ozai Kim Yo-jong is probably Azula although a bit out of family tree There we have it the Fire nation royal family 😂
@CommandoDude if the idea is that the Kim Dynasty is to rule North Korea forever wouldn't they rather pick the woman who is literally second-in-command to Un or the hippie older brother who wants nothing to do with politics? not to mention that the only other male candidate is against the idea of a Kim Dynasty

Kim Jong-un is not dying, he had difficult surgery and everyone is weak short after this difficult surgery. Also there are few innacurities being told here: 1) Kim Kyong-hui is most likely dead for years (she might have died short after her husband who was executed) 2) Kim Jong-un has at least 3 children. The oldest son (born 2010), Ju-ae (who was introduced to Rodman) and another child (whose gender is unknown) was supposed to be born in 2015 3) Kim Jong-nam has except Han-sol at least one daughter and another son with different woman; Jong-chul has a child being born some years after his Eric Clapton visit 4) Kim Yo-jong is hardly an option. She does not have that strong authority and also she is a woman - high ranking soldiers in patriarch society wont ever follow a woman with lack of charisma and declare her "Goddess". so there are two possibilities: Kim Jong Un lives 10 and more years = his eldest son will succeed him; If he dies earlier = Kim Jong Chul will succeed him. Kim Jong Chul might not be viewed as incompetent, he just does not care about rulling. To be honest Kim Jong-il was also more interested in music and movies than rulling the country
Kim Yo-Jong has about as much authority and profile as her brother did before he became leader. She's the odds on favorite to succeed in an emergency, as the only member of the family aside from her brother wielding real power, and with a decently well established profile (internally and abroad). She appears to be the favorite of her brother, and therefore presumably the current designated successor if such an individual exists, and she already has de-facto control of State Media... meaning she has control of the narrative and can maneuver. Further still, she's issued statements and even a military order in her own name, and has attended military exercises alongside her brother. Her being a woman is the only thing that could throw a wrench in her rise, and I honestly don't think that will be an ultimate deal breaker.
@@MarcelFigtrees yes that's why I think Yo-jung is unprobable successor. Family name means a lot in korean society and even more in traditional society like in the North Korea
Someone said they have hereditary heart problems which cause them to die young but I think it is probably not right since Kim Yong Ju is 100 years old.

What an excellent channel! We need to put this out there to the younger generation. These kinds of charts and timelines are a remarkably quick way to grasp complex ideas and then put them into context with things today . What a marvellous tool.
In the "best case" scenario, it would pass onto Kim Yo-Jong or Jong-chul. Jong-Un is on good terms with his sister. However, if the old guard is persistent on no female leaders, then the next person in line would be Jong-Chul. Let's be honest, though, neither of them would make for saints in term of leadership.
I really want Han-Sol to be the next leader because he might actually be the only person who is open to ending this regime. If you watch videos of him, he's actually a pretty nice person and wants to open up North Korea. Of course, the government wouldn't be up for that and might get him assassinated.
I feel bad for the son of Kim Jong Un. If he’s dead, the son is going to be the number one target for assassination. He was born into a life he didn’t choose which kinda sucks.
If you and your entire family were being held hostage by that madman, and all your neighbors were being forced to spy and inform on your every word and action under threat of being sent to a concentration camp, you'd probably call the fat psycho whatever he wanted in order to save yourself and the people you love.

If you have a crazy sibling that is willing to kill to get rid of any political obstacle. You better play dumb and act like a playboy to get rid of any suspicion that you might post a political threat to him.

I'm totally rooting for kim hansol. If you search him up, you'll know he's been educated very well and could possibly unite the two koreas back together.

My guess is some unrelated general would take over, possibly as a sham regency until he could consolidate power fully

Nah to many people think the kims are gods so he would have to keep a kim as leader most likely the kid so that he wields all the power.
Foreign intervention=China. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if there were Chinese troops on the border right now. China, in addition to its territorial ambitions, does not want millions of NK refugees, so they would probably want to contain the situation ASAP.
I don´t think so. The generals owe their career to the Kims and by abandon the Kim dynasty the army would have to explain this to the people. But the whole country is a Kim family construct, the general couldn´t just say: Look, everything we told you since 1948 was wrong, the Kims are no Gods. Impossible. A North Korea without a Kim leader wouldn´t have a psychological justification and would break apart very soon. Kim-ism is the state religion, it is not only about who is in office...
That would cause a civil war if the siblings try to seize the power. Difficult situation indeed. I think in the case that the rest of the family is too incompetent to fight for the power then a military junta would rule the country and maybe, just maybe, that could lead to some kind of democratization. But China most certainly would not like that.

Correction, Kim Ju-ae was born in 2013. But in 2012, lots of people noticed Kim Jong Un's wife went missing from the public. But prior people noticed this in 2010, and also in 2017. It is unknown the gender of the 2017 baby, but they recently announced the 2010 child was a boy and there is a son. Though we don't know his name.

This guy expressed serious regret about the state of NK and didn’t deny the accusations in interviews, so I kind of doubt he had the same career trajectory in mind as Un.
He's most likely not going to get elected, he's young and perfect for the job yes, but he was seen as too nice by the North Korean Government and the government is also targeting his family. He is currently in hiding.

My Korean Notebook
“Dark horse” is a term for a unknown competitor or candidate who unexpectedly win. Aka a political underdog.
Slight correction. It's believed that Kim Jong-un does have a son, though we know little else about him. Considering the daughter is only eight that means the logical male heir is definitely too young to inherit. This is relevant because North Korea adheres strictly to Confucian moral standards. This means that it would be incredibly difficult for a woman to have any direct position of power. The old guard would never accept it. That is unless, as you suggested, Kim Yo-jong were to do some political jostling and position herself as a sort of regent for her nephew. From what is known about her, she is perhaps the most devious political mind in North Korea. If any woman could fill the top spot, it's Kim Yo-jong. The only other option is chaos and a probable takeover from a Jang Song-thaek type.

You cannot. In Korean you can't have L between two vowels. You can only have L at the end of a syllable.
North Korea is like a Medieval Kingdom in its early stage where the line of succession is not formally established and power transfer happens by last wills and who the kings court trusts the most. 3 Generations is not really long for a kingdom and I think Kim Jong-un dying young without clear successor will end in civil war.
Many high-ranking people have much to gain and much to lose backing up different candidates inside or outside the Kim family, or even the nation. If a majority of key figures can not agree on a successor, figuring it out during a power transition might be a catastrophy.
So many outside big players are interested in the future of North Korea, if they also can not commit to a single plan, this can be another eternal war.

Kim Jong-un is not dying, he had difficult surgery and everyone is weak short after this difficult surgery. Also there are few innacurities being told here:
1) Kim Kyong-hui is most likely dead for years (she might have died short after her husband who was executed)
2) Kim Jong-un has at least 3 children. The oldest son (born 2010), Ju-ae (who was introduced to Rodman) and another child (whose gender is unknown) was supposed to be born in 2015
3) Kim Jong-nam has except Han-sol at least one daughter and another son with different woman; Jong-chul has a child being born some years after his Eric Clapton visit
4) Kim Yo-jong is hardly an option. She does not have that strong authority and also she is a woman - high ranking soldiers in patriarch society wont ever follow a woman with lack of charisma and declare her "Goddess".
so there are two possibilities: Kim Jong Un lives 10 and more years = his eldest son will succeed him; If he dies earlier = Kim Jong Chul will succeed him. Kim Jong Chul might not be viewed as incompetent, he just does not care about rulling. To be honest Kim Jong-il was also more interested in music and movies than rulling the country
루시우 Kim kyung Hui is alive she was shown in a video in North Korean propaganda
Kim Yo-Jong has about as much authority and profile as her brother did before he became leader. She's the odds on favorite to succeed in an emergency, as the only member of the family aside from her brother wielding real power, and with a decently well established profile (internally and abroad). She appears to be the favorite of her brother, and therefore presumably the current designated successor if such an individual exists, and she already has de-facto control of State Media... meaning she has control of the narrative and can maneuver. Further still, she's issued statements and even a military order in her own name, and has attended military exercises alongside her brother. Her being a woman is the only thing that could throw a wrench in her rise, and I honestly don't think that will be an ultimate deal breaker.
@marcelo I agree with the first part but korean women usually dont take their husband surname

Let's be honest, though, neither of them would make for saints in term of leadership.
I really want Han-Sol to be the next leader because he might actually be the only person who is open to ending this regime.
