NKorea's Kim, heir apparent son at lavish parade
Published October 10, 2010 | Associated Press
Clapping, waving and even cracking a smile, Kim Jong Il's son and heir apparent joined his father Sunday at a massive military parade in his most public appearance since being unveiled as North Korea's next leader.
Kim Jong Un, dressed in a dark blue civilian suit, sat next to his father on an observatory platform at Kim Il Sung Plaza as tanks carrying rocket-propelled grenades and long-range missiles rolled by as part of celebrations marking the 65th anniversary of the reclusive state's ruling Workers' Party.
It was a momentous public debut for Kim Jong Un less than two weeks after he was made a four-star general in the first in a series of appointments that set him firmly on the path to succession, which would carry the Kim dynasty over the communist country into a third generation.

Practically emotionless face, just like this father. Do you think he’ll be as bad, or possibly worse than ‘lil Chia Pet?

Certainly looks like he hasn’t pushed himself away from the buffet table!

He is taking it over at a time when the situation is a lot more unstable than when his dad took it over. He is also under a lot of time pressure. He has to turn things around fast. He is not a type of going down without a fight.
Expect him to force things only to backfire on him.

To him, “all you can eat” must have been true for all his life.:-)

This family seems to be made up of some of the most repulsive looking Koreans I've ever seen. I guess their physical appearance is a reflection of the evil in their minds.

Damn, don’t know what to fear most, the kick or the sword!

I swear he looks exactly like portraits of his grandfather in his younger years... without the spark of intelligence in the eyes, that is.

As far as I know, "high kick" is not a part of its repertoire.:-)
Maybe N. Korean Pleasure Group variation? :-)

Probably right. He got the beef, but the experience? Questionable.
However, since he has no other significant credential, the resemblance to his grand dad will be highlighted again and again by NK state media.

They have their boy president; we have ours.
To: TigerLikesRooster
He’s the only member of the brood who isn’t a complete degenerate. He spent his school and university years in Europe pretending to be the son of the Nork embassy driver.
I’d say there’s zero chance of him being able to hold onto the reins when his dad kicks. Unless it’s because nobody else really wants the job. In which case, he may survive for sometime as a figurehead for the military.

I recently read “Escaping North Korea”.
Absolutely, unbelievably grim, grinding, hopeless and starving existence for most people there. Not to mention short. Their healthcare system is simple—you get sick, you die.
Makes Fidel’s Cuba sound like the land of milk and honey by comparison.

Once it is open and we can see it with our own eyes, the shock will be many times higher than we already feel from reading accounts.
