» by GI Korea in: North Korea

If anyone cares here is yet another report that Kim Jong-un is to be the next thugh in chief in North Korea:

- North Koreans pledged allegiance to leader Kim Jong Il’s youngest son on Friday by marking his birthday, a news report said, amid speculation he is being groomed to take over the nuclear-armed country.

North Korea also announced the designation of Kim Jong Un’s birthday as a national holiday during a meeting of senior officials in Pyongyang late Thursday, according to the Daily NK, a Seoul-based online news outlet that focuses on North Korean affairs. It cited an unidentified North Korean resident.

Little has been confirmed about Kim Jong Un, including his age. He is believed to be in his 20s.
