Yeah you are right, Richardson, I should qualify my statements. In any case, going far, far out on a limb with Kim Jong Nam was never going to be a good idea, given his weight…

Through out Chosun Dynasty history, there was problem with weak Heir-to-the-throne who lost his mother. The new step mom will gain more power and will try to guarantee the throne will go to her son than the original heir-to-the-throne. Sometime in history, the new queen (step mom) will try to get rid of the heir by killing or exiled him for life by creating her own power base with other powerful people in government like chief Eunuchs, Army Generals, Palace Guard commander and even try to convince the king.

Once the Heir found out that his life is in danger, then he will make an escuse and run away to China to create an ally from the powerful Chinese Dynasty government. Several years after the step mom’s death, and the coast is clear that he will be safe in the kingdom, then he comes back to the palace to re-claim his position. The heir will also try to purge the step brothers and all step mom’s “ally” in the process to gain his power back which he lost.

It is time for heads to roll!!!!
