No, contrary to the headline, his sister is not named Yomiuri Shinbun, the Japanese journal that is the source of the story. She's Kim Yo-Jong. We might get to know her better than we want to.

He may not be dead, but he is almost certainly incapacitated if there is speculation about his sister replacing him.

Send Gretchen.

I would really like to put Yomiuri Shimbun in charge of the Nork regime. It is a mainstream newspaper that, among other things, owns the Yomiuri (Baseball) Giants and the licensing rights for Popeye the Sailor Man in Japan.

Women despots, historically, can often be far worse than the men, is that not true? Only know of one Chinese Empress who was pretty bad.

A queen replaces a king. It’s happened before.

Finally got used to saying Kim Jong-un. Now have to learn how to say Kim Yo-jong. Can’t she change her name to Chee? Kim Chee would be easier to remember and repeat.Kim Yo-jong sounds close to Kim Yo-mama, but she’s the sister. If she’s indecisive, she’ll be Kim Yo-yo.

Kim Yo-Jong may abdicate to her children, Ping & Pong or Ying & Yang to the Japanese. If he has been so ill, who has been firing all of his missiles lately? If he recovers, he will be pissed. He has only Un left.

I think we should wonder about who would replace her? Could North Korea ever get a sensible leader?

[Retain Mike]

Unless secession is a certainty, I think what happened after Stalin’s death would be a good example to consider. I don’t know that piece of history very well, but I think several guys went off to the Gulags or disappeared. Having a tight relationship with the head of the KGB probably helped.

[BenLurkin]

I want to marry her.

Are those generals down for taking order from a woman? Just curious. Actually hoping they revolt. Would be for the best.

South Koreans very concerned about a potential refugee crush that will make Syria look like Disneyland...

[Gay State Conservative]

It’s hard to imagine the ROK not having a pretty good idea what’s happening in NK at any given moment.And if Fat Boy is,in fact,ill it’s easy to understand why they might publicly deny knowledge.

Apparently she was educated in Switzerland, as was her brother. Here’s hoping that she paid a bit more attention than he did.

She looks...friendly?

[Buttons12]

Yo, me hoary shinbone! Joe Biden’s a’coming this way!

[hoosiermama]

Is she the woman Ivanka sat with at the olympics ?
