Reports saying Kim Jong Un underwent a medical procedure are fueling new speculation about North Korean leader’s health after his unprecedented absence from events last week marking his grandfather’s birthday.

 

The U.S. was monitoring intelligence reports that Kim may be in “grave danger after a surgery,” CNN reported, citing a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the matter. The White House declined to comment on the CNN report.

Who is next in line if he kicks the bucket? I know he had a daughter but I don't think there has been a clear answer if he had a son yet and even so he would still probably be really young. 

 

Probably one of his generals.  Whether that's a good thing for the rest of the world is unknown - but as far as I know Kim has purged a lot of high ranking military officers who weren't loyal enough.

He has a Sister that is very high ranking in the regime but will she have any power if he dies?
