If he isn't in charge now, is this good or bad for South Korea? Could we see a unification of the peninsula?

Interesting Question. No one has heard from him in 37 days. He is a Glory Hound like his Daddy and Grandpa. Wonder if there has been a Castle Coup. There are a few in the wings. I think there is a Sister. He deep sixed his uncle and I think that may have frightened others into action. It will always be someone from the "Family" but the Generals may have picked someone new, Sister, Cousin. Maybe we will find out soon.

Kim Jung Un was never really in charge of the DPRK, yet he plays the role of a demented national leader extremely well.

Kim Il Sung chose Nam Il to lead the Party and take all decisions of the DPRK, because Nam Il was more brutal than himself. Nam Il groomed Kim Jung Il.

Samsung and Hyundai are in charge, North South East and West. They want the Kaesong

Industrial Zone open so they can use slave labor rather than Union Workers in the south.
