      As Kim Jong Il took power, the famine hit. the north Korean government refused aid for various reasons and committed a genocide by starvation. Food was sent first to the most politically loyal. The government effectively collapsed. they even had polio return.

      It was not at all clear the Kim Jong Il could maintain his hold on power but he pulled it off with millions of deaths to his name as the price. He launched a "let's eat two meals a day!" campaign and said it's a good thing there wasn't food, three meals is unhealthy.

      Other than his sister Kim Kyong Hui the rest of the Kim family is not really discussed in the DPRK. It's like asking who Uncle Sam's nieces and nephews are.

      When Kim Jong Un was publicly unveiled this was a huge deal. To this day it's not 100% how many wives and/or children Jong Il had. This is the 10th Commandment of the Great Leader. This means only someone from the "Mt Paektu bloodline" (i.e., a descendant of Kim Il Sung) can leadpic.twitter.com/IHG57cqHpD

      He had at least three boys. The eldest, Kim Jong Nam, had been passed over for various reasons. He would have been an obvious replacement for Kim Jong Un--hence why he was assassinated. The middle Kim Jong Chol is a "sissy" who is not interested.

      The people in power are there because of their loyalty to the leader, period. Kim Jong Il's sister drove her daughter to suicide and she was behind the murder of Kim Jong Un's "uncle" (actually her husband).

      The possibility that Kim Jong Un's sister would take over is a common theory among people who can't name one single other person in the north Korea leadership. The culture is extremely patriarchal. The answer is: No one knows and there are no legal clues or precedent.

      I covered everything you need to know about north Korea in my book Dear Reader. This has been a decades-long process by the Kim family. It is a unique country with similarities to others but very much its own thing.https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Reader-Unauthorized-Autobiography-Jong/dp/1495283259/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1492197807&sr=1-1&keywords=dear+reader …

      Our hearts must go out to the north Korean people in all this. They are ones who are enslaved prisoners. Hope for their peaceful liberation.
