ITT we discuss anything pertaining to North Korea.

Do you guys think it's true that Kim Jong-Un is dead, as many Japanese, SK, and Chinese outlets are saying? When his father died, NK tried to dismiss it all as rumors and insisted he was fine for months after his death, so I absolutely don't trust their claims that he is alive and well unless he emerges to prove it.

Apparently his crazy sister, Kim Yo-Jong, will be his successor.

Kim Jong Un is dead, his sisters grip on power is tenuous so she's gonna establish herself then say a pneumonia killed him. Kim Jong Un's kids will have mysterious accidents.

No. 546241

So no Christmas gift? :(

Anyways I’m glad this thread was made because I’m confused and intrigued. I have no clue if he’s dead or alive.
Does everyone wish him to be alive because he’s less competent/threatening than Kim Yo Jong? Even conservatives here in the US who’ve always hated him say they really wish he’s not dead. Maybe it’s because he’s more likely to make peaceful deals with SK and the US than his sister?

It seems like that's the case. From the little information about her that's available, she seems a lot more competent than Kim Jong-Un, which is not necessarily a good thing when you're talking about a nuclear armed dictatorial regime that's belonged to the same family for 70 years.

Whether he is dead or not, I can't say. What I do know for sure is that he's definitely not well; mentally or physically. Him missing his grandfathers birthday and celebration of NK military is a big deal and as far as I know, has never happened without a good reason.

I don't believe for a second he's at some holiday resort drinking and sunbathing, this is NK trying to pull a Weekend at Bernie's with stunt doubles until they know for sure how to deal with whatever has happened(death, brain death, hospital stay etc)

Will be interesting to see what will happen. But anyone who says this could be a good thing for NK and the world is delusional. Unless his sister pulls a smooth powergrab, there will be a war of succession and the weak well-meaning party won't win it; a worse thing at the head of a country than an evil dictator is a weak dictator.

The way NK succession works is that the successor is always a descendant of the Supreme Leader unless there are no viable options, then it goes to a sibling. So, uncles aren't contenders and since Jong-Un's daughter is only a toddler, she is obviously not viable.

Of his siblings, his only remaining brother was already declared unworthy of succession by Kim Jong-Il, and it is highly unlikely the NK government would go against Jong-Il's wishes and appoint him when there are other options. This leaves Jong Il's two daughters, and out of both of them, Kim Yo-Jung makes the most sense because she is of a higher political ranking and full siblings with Kim Jong-Un.

Look, I get that the idea of a young, pretty woman being a dictator is kind of fun on paper, especially for those of us with weeb tendencies. However, I would like to kindly remind you guys that North Korea is one of the single most brutal dictatorships in modern history. A dictatorship in which she is a major player, in charge of pushing out the horrifically dangerous propaganda that keeps their people under their control with lies and fear.

On top of all the countless other torture that goes on in North Korean death camps (which I highly recommend you guys read up on if you're not aware of the specifics) the women are systematically raped by the guards. Sometimes to death. How the fuck is the Supreme Leader being a woman some kind of score for feminism when this is how the women under her rule are treated?

To gain the trust of her brother who had many of his family members assassinated, DUH. You can’t over throw something you’re not deep seeded inside of.

To have the trust of her brother, she would need to prove her absolute loyalty. Need to act as if she believes in what he is doing etc. We don’t know whats going on inside her head. Her personal beliefs, what she would even slightly do differently. Sure, it’s dumb to Stan her. I’m not stanning her… yet. We will see what she decides to be when in power. But either way you cannot deny that a 31 woman coming into power of the worlds most tight nit dictatorship, one where they do not support woman, is a huge and monumental moment in history.

I'm so baffled by the amount of western leftists who stan North Korea because they think it genuinely is a socialist workers' paradise, and that all the stories about concentration camps with forced labor, rape, and executions are just evil western imperialist propaganda.

Also, I wonder what will happen if there's a protracted Game of Thrones-style power vacuum in North Korea between Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Il's brother Kim Pyong Il, and inner circle North Korean generals. If North Korea has no leadership, and its borders aren't closely guarded anymore, China and South Korea could suddenly be faced with the prospect of millions of refugees, potentially infected with COVID-19, streaming across their borders. Suddenly having an influx of millions of sick, malnourished, uneducated refugees would probably crash South Korea's economy and healthcare system.

We also have to keep in mind, how easy would it be for her to change things?Absolute power NEVER means absolute power, even for Kim Jong-Un. There is always someone else there pushing for things to be a certain way, he didn’t come up with it all on his own. So if she is to come into power, change might not happen for 10 years, for example. It would take a while to start plucking the weeds and NK is well overgrown. How much wiggle room would she get if she came into power? There are obviously believers in their regime, people who believe more than the Jong’s themselves. I mean look at trump, people actually started drinking bleach when he said to. So how would the most loyal people in her society even react if she started to change things.

If Kim Jong-Un was dead, South Korea would likely be reporting a mass mobilization of North Korean troops, presumably in preparation for the ensuing power struggle. The execution of Jang Song-thaek indicated that support for the Kim family's continued rule among the North Korean elite is somewhat precarious. In order for Kim Yo-Jong to become the new supreme leader she'd need either need to kill or garner the support of several important figures such as Jong Kyong-thaek (minister of state security) and Hwang Pyong-so (vice chairman of the national defense commission). Given the intense sexism of North Korean culture mixed with their personality cult, I'd say it's a coin flip of if she would actually succeed Kim Jong-Un. On one hand having her rule would be able to in turn allow the old guard to maintain their power, but on the other it's not unthinkable that a number of military and political figures would use this as an opportunity to initiate a coop.

A regime that doesn’t believe in women in power and has been perpetuated by basically the same man. It’s naive to say it wouldn’t change things in NK.

A regime only ran by dictator men for decades gets a shock death where a young woman has to step up and become leader, when they do not believe in woman of power, is already a difference in their beliefs. Let’s say she did become leader, that would shake NK society to the core. There would have to be splinters of change because a woman being leader was not a possibility to them before.

The thing about this is that even though NK is technically a dictatorship, in the end it doesn't matter who's the face of the country because it's still run by a conclave behind the dictator. Everyone from the Kim family is basically for show and all they need to do is live a life of luxury while the party heads run the country and ensure their own position. If the current ruling Kim started talking about wanting to install democracy and let the people live free, they'd be assassinated on the spot.

When communists talk about gender equality in the workplace, they mean employing women as miners, garbagepeople, factory workers, and other blue-collar jobs. They don't mean putting women in positions of prestige and power such as businesswomen, politicians and phd's like western feminists do. That's not something proles, female or male, should aspire to.

Source: I grew up under communism. The ideal was for men and women to be equal contributors to the proletariat workforce, and have the State responsible for raising the children.

Nobody ever talked about women leaders, or any kind of other leader except the current one. Communist leaders are godlike figures with an image deliberately constructed so that no proles can ever even imagine someone else in their place, let alone one of them. That would encourage dissent.

This. However I wouldn't put it past NK to appoint a female leader to pay lip service or to display some faux sense of progressiveness following the juche narrative of inspiring the nation's daughters of course. The people actually making the decisions and running the country aren't going to be damaged by the leader's profile, otherwise they wouldn't have made a spoiled fat, diabetic cosmopolitan kid their dictator. They can make up any bullshit lies to hitch someone to the status of god.

You have to remember that even Kim Jong-il was a neurotic, luxury-loving movie sperg. The more simple-minded and gluttonous the current dictator, the better it is for the military generals. All they need to do is throw lavish parties and gourmet food the Kim family's way and they get to keep on sucking the working class dry.

No, Kim Jong Un is not dead, and no, even if he were, his sister would not be his successor. Believe it or not, the DPRK is not a monarchy.

Western media has historically tried to frame every socialist leader as dead every so often. Fidel Castro used to be reported as dead a few times a year.

Remember: Almost everything said about North Korea is nonsense. You can say absolutely anything about the DPRK or China and it's instantly believed. Journalistic integrity is irrelevant with these countries. Note how the articles on these countries typically rely on hearsay. Defectors are proven to be liars on a regular basis because they are paid by South Korean generals.

I will not claim that North Korea is perfect but we should all do our best to defend the country from imperialist, warhawk lies.

Not a Koreaboo here, just a communist.

This. I'm baffled by the amount of people here who seem to know squat about North Korea and the policies surrounding it. The same applies to Cuba, with regards to sanctions, really, but with North Korea it's an even more extreme example.
The UN imposed sanctions on financial deals to shut them out of the international financial system, they are not allowed to export any of what they have in abundance (copper, nickel, zinc, silver, fish, coal, iron). They're not even allowed to export any food at all.
And, of course, countries are prohibited from exporting to North Korea.
China is essentially the only country occasionally willing to do deals with North Korea, but the countries despise each other.
North Korea has every reason in the world to threaten the US with nukes and hate the US. The US destroyed their country, and we punish them for not forgiving us and standing their ground.

Not true. Anyone can run against Kim Jong Un in elections. In fact, in the first election he ran, he had an opponent and he got the least amount of votes from the Korean people.

And no, I wouldn't excuse Hitler or Nazis, that's a fallacious false equivalence. Nazis were killing millions based on ethnicity. North Korea minds its own business and there are no genocides. You probably also think Stalin killed gorillions of people and ate all the grain.

Jesus christ the china shills are on full force today. North Korea was built on being the lap dog for the Soviet Union and getting resources in return, but after the country collapsed they did too because they had no self reliance and the leaders couldn't be assed to care for the regular folks because that's how communism always ends up as, even NK was supposed to be implementing ~the TRUE and honest communism~. People died during the great famine in the 90's due to this and they never recovered. A country can't be 100% self-sufficient in modern times like the delusional Juche ideology implies. It had shit all to do with western countries, the reason why they don't offer aid to NK is that the aid doesn't find its way to the people who need them and instead go straight to the leaders, and the sanctions imposed against them is simply due to, you know, them bombing passenger planes, having torture prison camps, consistently breaking the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and overall killing their own folks and violating human rights on the regular. Not because of the allowed haircuts meme or issues regarding fashion.

You know when a western news source actually objects to something that paints North Korea in a negative light it's serious.
> There are questions to be asked about how heavily outsiders should rely on defectors’ testimonies as credible evidence
>Lee’s testimony was challenged by Chang In-suk, then head of the North Korean Defectors’ Association in Seoul, who claimed to know first hand that Lee had never been a political prisoner. Many former DPRK citizens on the website NKnet agreed Lee’s accounts were unlikely to be true.
>Similarly, Kwon Hyuk told the US Congress that he was an intelligence officer at the DPRK embassy in Beijing and had witnessed human experiments in political prisons – a critical factor in the US decision to pass the North Korea Human Rights Act in 2004. Kwon’s account […] was later questioned by South Korea’s Yonhap news agency, which argued that he never had access to such information. Many years later, Kwon has since disappeared from the public eye.

Typical. Anyway, yeah, I don't like Kim Jong Un, I just want to defend North Korea from lies. I've said multiple times here I don't like North Korea and would never want to live there. I don't think you should "like" North Korea. But I do think people should question almost everything they've been told about the country.
I think Kim Jong Un is spoiled and ill-fitted for leadership, since Il-Sung things have gotten worse. Kim Jong Un has a ton of supervisors who tell him everything to do. Trump has the same thing but Trump actually has more agency and knowledge than Kim Jong Un, and it's pretty rare for Trump to have that advantage over someone.

A lot of them have PTSD and the visible scars from torture after escaping prison camps. Calling them "liars" simply because harpie journalists give them cash (which the defectors are desperate for) is preposterous, there are thousands of defectors each year, I highly doubt they're all bribed by the South Korean government to badmouth their country. Escaping the country to go to South Korea is hard, expensive and dangerous, often requiring you to stay in China for some time which will deport you back the second you're found out, I don't believe for a second that you'd take that kind of a journey and leave everything behind unless you felt it was your only option to survive.

I don't doubt that she's a defector and that she's been through some horrid shit, but her story is obviously embellished.

It's one thing to be "slightly skeptical" and an entirely another to go on an autistic rant about how she's ~totally doing this to sell movie rights~ and ~guilt tripping others for not caring about NK~ and finishing it off with making fun of her hapa kid. I've read her book far before I was even aware of her youtube channel and she's been very consistent with her escape story right down to details so if you're trying to tell me other defectors are "poking holes in her story" I'd like to see some proof. Almost every defector has been found to say something that didn't happen but that's often on the insignificant level of "they said they escaped during night when it was actually evening" that can be scratched up to bad communication, memories warped by trauma or just honestly misremembering things. If you've watched the documentary of her with her mother and sister their story is consistent with hers as well.

In my opinion she's incredible for learning an entirely new language to the point she can hold a full conversation and a youtube channel speaking in it, and actually has the balls to do so when there's a real threat of North Korean spies and assassins attacking her and her family. Tankies who consistently question NK defectors and say they're lying and exaggerating to be western bootlickers are delusional and too deep in their comfortable western world to realize that authoritarian, fascist shitholes like North Korea are real and exist.

>After watching NK footage and reading articles on the Kim Dynasty, especially about Kim Jong-un and Lady Kim while neglecting my own studies; here are my thoughts on this:

I’m not sure where everybody and their grandma thinks Kim’s wife is ‘suffering in this horrible regime uwu’ and compare her life with Princess Diana’s when that bitch has been living it up since day 1 as seen in picrel. From what footage I’ve seen, she seems to very much enjoy fatso’s company and isn’t as scared of him like the rest of the regime while he in return seems very comfortable and dare I say happy with her around compared when he’s giving out speeches and doing business; papa-Kim knew the perfect match alright. And let’s not forget she has relatives up in the political hierarchy, I doubt the story of Kim’s family killing off her family and friends; or maybe she’s just a sociopath benefiting from it all and doesn’t gaf about her family and colleagues. Who knows?

I mean yeah, fatboy has his side-hoes and whatnot but she knows who’s the top bitch in the game and probably flexes her First Lady status to remind them who’s boss on occasion. There’s also a part near the end in the scmp video where she gave one of the singers the stink-eye for wrapping her arm around fatty, implying “get your filthy hands off my husband” while appearing sweet and nice on camera; which I think shows she does love her man and probably got that science phd to help out with the components for the nuclear missiles for him. Kimmy himself seems to share the same love and respect for her when he sperged at the defectors for sharing raunchy pictures of her in the leaflets and threatened to blow up a base because of that.

Because it’s an arranged marriage, I’m not sure if such thing as “romantic love” exists between them but I get the vibe that they’re comfortable and happy having the other around while deeply caring for each other.

> i am korean, but can kind of pass as chinese? i understood some of what they said at the restaurant / stores. their soju was awful, and everyone was friendly to me and i nodded a lot
> everyone is "normal," but a lot of armed guards in that area because border. felt like a rural south korean town in comparison, some passing town in the eurasian area (between russia and china)
> they don't look like south koreans, more north koreans. but that might be because intermarriage does happen here and there at the border towns
> loose border, people do business across all the time. the richer ones send their kids to the chinese side to work since a lot more money
> corrupt south korean officials do golf around there per locals but can't enter NK
> the seafood was great, like really fugging great
> i talked to a north korean waitress about EXO on the chinese side, they know about the outside world more than propaganda says

There's so much fake news about the DPRK and it actually does such a disservice of people who actually suffered there. Stuff like "they believe in unicorns and that Kim Jong Un invented the burrito" makes the whole thing seem like a joke.

You guys should really watch the documentary "Propaganda Game" and listen to NoDutDols podcasts about visiting the country. Of course I'm by no means a supporter of the weird cult-like patriotism they have for the Kim family but I get that they're probably really strict on their people cuz the US could easily stage a coup there like they've done with several other countries.

Kim Jong-un is literally Kira!

Sure, he’s not as handsome, thin or even smart as Light Yagami was but like Light, he had a god complex; he purged/killed anyone who got in his way which included his relatives and if Light did succeed in creating his new world, it would’ve been just like North Korea is now.

…as the supreme leader caresses the young cadet’s face, he turned the young man to look at him in the eyes the proceeded to kiss him, not caring that his wife, sister and the rest of his entourage were looking at them while trying their damndest to hide their disgust.

Chairman Kim continued to kiss the young comrade while stripping him off his military uniform, the kid was awfully frightened but let the older man do what he wanted to him as he still valued his life enough to never end up in a political prison camp for rejecting Kim’s advances.

Kim now as now stroking the young man’s genetalia and commented how hard he was getting as precum was leaking, boasting about how much the cadet wanted him then gave a hearty laugh, the rest of the witnesses laughed along with him.

He aggressively turned the cadet against the wall, unzipped his pants then whipped out his own throbbing member and forcefully penetrated the lad’s entrance. The entourage was in shock and wanted to look away, some were blinking tremendously as they didn’t want the images of the marshal violently fucking the young student in their heads forever.

Screams from the cadet could be heard emitting from the halls as the supreme leader gave deep, throaty moans in ecstasy while kissing and feeling up and down on the man beneath him. Time stood still for everyone witnessing the debauchery going on until Kim finally released his hot seed inside the young man’s already bleeding rectum.

Kim put his pants back on, thanked the young man for his service and told him to clean himself up then grabbed his petrified wife by her arm and whisked her away to an empty room to clean him up, no need for towels or washcloths.
