Kim Jong-un has reportedly thanked Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for his good wishes on the birthday anniversary of the country's founder Kim Il-sung, challenging rumours that the North Korean leader might be dead.
"Kim Jong-un, in his message, expressed his deep thanks to the president of the Syrian Arab Republic for sending his heartfelt message of greeting, reflecting the warm respect for president Kim Il-sung, who is always alive in the hearts of the Korean people and the world progressives, on the occasion of his 108th birth anniversary," the state agency reported in an English-language article.
That makes Kim's younger sister, senior ruling party official Kim Yo-jong, the most likely candidate to step in if her brother is gravely ill, incapacitated or dies. But some experts say a collective leadership, which could end the family's dynastic rule, could also be possible. "North Korea is like a dynasty, and we can view the Paektu descent as royal blood so it's unlikely for anyone to raise any issue over Kim Yo-jong taking power."
So let me get this straight - Un is Ill and Ill is dead, or is he undead?

Kim Jong Un's 'dictatorship dynasty will survive' | Sky News AustraliaAustralian National University researcher Dr Leonid Petrov says the 'dictatorship dynasty will survive' regardless of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's health. \n\nChairman Kim is reportedly critically ill after undergoing a cardiovascular procedure earlier this month. \n\nMr Petrov told Sky News it was very difficult to have an accurate idea of the leader’s health because North Korea “is a black box in terms of information and statistics” and South Korea was being “lukewarm” with information. \n\n“If something happens to Kim Jong Un there will be either another leader from the Kim dynasty or a collective leadership which would be equally keen to have a working relationship with the US and also good stable relationship with its immediate neighbours,' he said. \n\n“The dictatorship dynasty will survive.”\n All those years of not pooping are finally catching up with him huh? Well: duh! Feel sorry for NK people
