Kim Jong-il Collapsed due to Shocking Injury to his Third Son: Euro Expert on N. Korea

His third son in critically condition after (an unspecified) accident

Two French surgeons treating(him) in Pyongyang

An European expert on N. Korea said on Sept. 10 that Kim Jong-il collapsed because something serious happened to his third son Jung-woon(age:25,) who is now said to be in critical condition. Jung-woon has the closest resemblance to Kim Jong-il himself among his sons, and he really dotted on him over the others, which made his psychological shock all the more devastating. That is why he missed Sept. 9 celebration of N. Korean state's founding anniversary.

The expert, now staying in Japan, said, "Kim Jong-il suffers from heart conditions. Any disastrous event can easily give him (physical) shock. He collapsed because of his son's problem. Kim Jong-il appears to be now in despair and hopelessness. "

He corroborated this by calling up N. Korea specialists in Romania, Germany, and Switzerland who have regular contacts with Kim Jong-il over the phone. A senior official at Swiss intelligence and a Romanian official who was stationed in N. Korea for a long time both agreed, "Something happened to his (third) son."

It happened last month and he is said to be in a critical condition. He usually stays in Switzerland but is said to have returned to Pyongyang well before Sept. 9 celebration.

According to him, N. Korean authorities brought in two doctors from a large French hospital at the end of last month. They are surgeons, which make us suspect that Jung-woon was critically injured in a traffic accident or while playing dangerous sports. Of two doctors, one is a French national while the other is a Swiss.

We may not rule out the possibility that somebody tried to cap Jung-woon to eliminate the competition. This could be part of succession intrigue.

Attempted suicide should not be ruled out.

Poor fellah, sure hope he doesn't try to commit suicide....with a slingshot.

...he really dotted on him over the others...

Dotted with what--a magic marker or a crayon? Or is dotting a special, Korean ritual?

This reminds me of Bhutan, when the crown prince killed his family, or when Udai killed his Father’s bodyguard.

I wonder if the son tried to hurry along his succession...

Kim Jong-il appears to be now in despair and hopelessness.

Now he knows how the people in North Korea feel. You know, his countrymen who have been reduced to eating grass and tree bark because of him. Those is slave labor concentration camps. No sympathy here whatsoever.

How does one get to Pyongyang these days? I tried Orbitz from LAX or TYO and it said “destination unavailable” Who flys there and from where and why? Not that I want to go, the place sounds like such a barrel of laughs, etc.

Let’s set up a pool on when Pyongyang and Cuba, etc. become free and join the real world. Do you think it will happen in our lifetimes? Look what happened to Berlin, Moscow and Bejing, etc.

Is the world getting better or worse?

“Kim Jong-il suffers from heart conditions. Any disastrous event can easily give him (physical) shock.”

Well, we need to create a “disastrous event.”

Right region, wrong country Nepal is where the regicide occurred recently. Bhutan has a rather calm and intensely Buddhist history.

Bhutan Royal Family
