Sorry man, thought you were asking about the virus. I know a lot of people that still don't understand how the virus works and think it dies as soon as it touches something non living, it kills people the same way the flu does, and one guy that thinks you can transfer it by farting (don't even ask, my brain locked up when I heard it)

Now that the Kims are in the news again, you might be wondering: wait a second! Kim Jong-Un is the youngest son? The apparent go-to if he dies is his youngest sister? Kim Jong-Un is an illegitimate child? The heir apparent if he does is also an illegitimate child!?

The oldest Kim child, Kim Jong-nam, is deceased as of 2017. He had, however, fallen out of favor by critiquing the regime and by getting arrested trying to sneak into Tokyo Disneyland. He was assassinated. His mother was Song Hye-rim, an actress who was never married to Kim Jong-Il, and who later is believed to have defected to Russia.

The next-oldest is Kim Jong-chul. He apparently does almost nothing except play in his band. He loves Eric Clapton. There are rumors he is gay and he has been remarked on as being “effeminate” and “soft-hearted”. He lives in Pyongyang but doesn’t seem to have any political role whatsoever. He is the son of Kim Jong-Il and Ko Young-Hui.

Kim Sol-song is the older daughter. Apparently competent (ran much of her father, Kim Jong-Il’s calendar) but a bit of a daddy’s girl and didn’t make any moves to take over from him and wasn’t groomed to be heir. She is the daughter of Kim Young-sook, Kim Jong-Il’s third wife, who he wasn’t close with. She is the only one of Kim Jong-Il’s children who was born to a woman to whom he was married.

Kim Jong-un, who did become the leader of North Korea, is son of Kim Jong-Il and Ko Young-hui, who Kim Jong-Il never married. (He couldn’t marry her, really–she was half-Japanese and a member of the lowest class.) You’ve heard plenty about him, so I won’t go on. He’s what his father intended, apparently.

Kim Yo-jong is now gathering some attention because she is the heir apparent if Kim Jong-Un dies. She is also the child of Kim Jong-Il and Ko Young-hui. She is said to be competent but only in the same fashion as her brother and father, i.e. despotic.

She was best friends with him until suddenly he was a misogynistic monster that she wouldn't shake hands with, and then she played nice and shook hands with him a few weeks later like nothing had happened when her attack failed to get any traction.

A group of people wanted to mess with the supervisor, you know, the whole joking around thing, we all got along well enough. So they pooled their money together and went to the box of dicks website and ordered the box of gummy dicks and a glitter bomb. Whoever ordered it, however, did not fill out the supervisor's name, they just sent it to the shop. So since the glitter bomb looked like a blueprint tube the owner took it along with the box since they came from the same place, and....whelp. Let's just say the custodians had a rather difficult time cleaning the boss' office.
So the next day being extra mad, the guy told everyone he was gonna start cycling the whole shop through the poo poo tasks like cleaning out the dump pits or scraping floors under the racks where oil and garbage builds up unless the people responsible came forward. They ended up getting a week off for insubordination and horse play, cycled through the poo poo jobs for a while, and every time pay raises came up the boss found excuses to reduce or deny raises like attendance, work performance, etc.

To this day mentioning that incident in ear shot of the dude sends him into a rage

The oldest Kim child, Kim Jong-nam, is deceased as of 2017. He had, however, fallen out of favor by critiquing the regime and by getting arrested trying to sneak into Tokyo Disneyland.

Kim Jong-Chul seems to be living the best possible life out of all of them (not that that's saying much given that two of the four are dead). From what limited information I was able to find on him I doubt he'll be challenging Kim Sol-song for the throne (and if he really is gay all the more reason to keep his head down and not risk assassination).

This story by Thae Yong Ho is wild. Dude just wants to play guitar and listen to Eric Clapton. I can see why dad said he was not dictator material

quote:

In a series of encrypted emails in 2015, Mr. Thae — who at the time was the No. 2 diplomat in North Korea’s London Embassy — received instructions for handling a special visitor from Pyongyang: Kim Jong-chol. He wanted to attend an Eric Clapton concert there.

The leader’s brother was such a fan of Mr. Clapton that the North Korean government once made a deposit of one million euros, about $1,170,000, on a contract to invite him to perform in Pyongyang, Mr. Thae said. But the musician declined and the deposit was returned.

For the London concert, the book says, Mr. Thae was ordered to secure six tickets and two suites at one of the city’s best hotels and to make reservations at top restaurants. After the brother landed in London late at night, flying first-class via Moscow, he ordered Mr. Thae to take him straight to the HMV music store on Oxford Street and to bang on the door to have the store opened for him.

“On my way to London, all I could think of in the plane was visiting the music shop,” Mr. Thae quotes him as saying.

Mr. Kim’s brother was eventually persuaded to instead visit the shop when it opened the next day. But Mr. Thae said the trouble for him and his staff was just beginning. The brother insisted on smoking wherever and whenever he wanted. And despite all the scouting for top-notch restaurants, he also liked to eat at McDonald’s.

On the city’s Denmark Street, which was lined with guitar shops, “he was as happy as if he owned the entire world,” Mr. Thae said. At one shop Mr. Kim picked a guitar and let loose riffs that impressed the shop’s owner so much that they played an impromptu duet.

At the Clapton concert, the book recounts, Mr. Kim snatched up T-shirts, albums and other souvenirs. During the performance, he was completely taken over by the music, standing up, wildly clapping and raising his fist.

Back at the hotel, at the suggestion of the still-excited visitor, the two men and the other North Korean diplomats present drank all of the liquor in their minibars.

But during his 61 hours with the brother, Mr. Thae said, he found him to be completely sidelined from Mr. Kim’s power apparatus. Unlike the other Kim family members — who are usually referred to as “commander comrades” — he carried no such title.

The brother once sang the American song “My Way” in the car and his eyes grew misty, Mr. Thae said. “He was just a guy crazy about music and the guitar.”
