I think if he died there would be a scenario similar to the death of Stalin. Several members of the Kim family would have to fight it out, the winner probably being the one who has the best relations with the army.

[@zorangesaft]

Maby it would become a Civil war where China, the west and the north Korean public pick a favourite side as well

[@bangscutter]

The army top brass are also no fools. They know that generations of brainwashing the citizens where the Kims are regarded as deity, mean that they must install a Kim to power, rather than seize it for themselves (becoming a military junta). Kim Yo-jong wields the most political power, being de-facto second only to Kim Jong-un. But whether or not the conservative country is prepared for a woman becoming supreme leader, is another story. There is the matter of maintaining the Kim name through male heirs. Her political power may be nullified by this factor. Don't forget the influence China has on North Korea. China does NOT want the country to collapse, since it would mean refugees pouring across its border in the event of civil war. China will exert significant influence on the North Korean military and political leadership, to install a new supreme leader favourable to China, rather than allow the regime to collapse.

[@Henri_Ikari]

In other words it would be an East Asian equivalent of Game of Thrones

[@Tethloach1]

Those who will be effected most will probably try and influence who the new leader will be. Depending on which leader serves the interest of some people as opposed to someone who is a non factor, If no opposes any leader than anything can happen, if people have certain inclinations than things may run as usual, a family member takes over who is male and who fills the Kim role well in order to maintain everyone's positions and keeps things fairly equivalent.

So correcting someone else's writing is like telling them something that is concrete, isn't... The only real language is Math, math is never wrong no matter how you align the numbers it always has the same outcome. Our languages are just baby steps to understanding a real language. Our languages have no correct way of spelling. As days go on meanings change and so do the words themselves. Math is a constant, which would have a "right" and "wrong", since it's concrete. 2+2=4. The answer will always be 4 unless you say 3 then we'll it's wrong. If I asked you a question and you answered with something I personally didn't like it wouldn't be wrong or right, it depends on the individual and their perspective. It relies on how you feel towards the something, nothing about it being correct or incorrect. You felt the need to correct something that was never wrong in the first place.

I don´t think so. The generals owe their career to the Kims and by abandon the Kim dynasty the army would have to explain this to the people. But the whole country is a Kim family construct, the general couldn´t just say: Look, everything we told you since 1948 was wrong, the Kims are no Gods. Impossible. A North Korea without a Kim leader wouldn´t have a psychological justification and would break apart very soon. Kim-ism is the state religion, it is not only about who is in office...

Slight correction. It's believed that Kim Jong-un does have a son, though we know little else about him. Considering the daughter is only eight that means the logical male heir is definitely too young to inherit. This is relevant because North Korea adheres strictly to Confucian moral standards. This means that it would be incredibly difficult for a woman to have any direct position of power. The old guard would never accept it. That is unless, as you suggested, Kim Yo-jong were to do some political jostling and position herself as a sort of regent for her nephew. From what is known about her, she is perhaps the most devious political mind in North Korea. If any woman could fill the top spot, it's Kim Yo-jong. The only other option is chaos and a probable takeover from a Jang Song-thaek type.

North Korea is like a Medieval Kingdom in its early stage where the line of succession is not formally established and power transfer happens by last wills and who the kings court trusts the most. 3 Generations is not really long for a kingdom and I think Kim Jong-un dying young without clear successor will end in civil war. Many high-ranking people have much to gain and much to lose backing up different candidates inside or outside the Kim family, or even the nation. If a majority of key figures can not agree on a successor, figuring it out during a power transition might be a catastrophy. So many outside big players are interested in the future of North Korea, if they also can not commit to a single plan, this can be another eternal war.
