If Kim Yo-jong (Kim Jong-un's sister) takes over, nothing will change. She might even be more aggressive to assert herself as the rightful ruler of Best Korea. Most likely IMO and the one without a power struggle.
If Choe Ryong Hae (super powerful government official) takes over, there is a chance for reform. Having no family ties with the Kims, he doesn't necessarily have to uphold the legacy of the family and can reform. The government won't really like that though if it means losing their positions. A power struggle, or even a civil war, might occur here; China might support someone, but it's also not guaranteed.
imo the only change you'd see if Choe took over is a deposition of the Kims but retaining the same overall structure.

That would be the most likely outcome. I'm just saying that there is a chance if it's not a Kim, whereas if Yo-jong did that she would most likely be overthrown.Arumdaum wrote:op should update that it turned out to be fake
We don't really know if it's real or if it's fake.

It's most definitely fake.
Korea experts are all calling it unsubstantiated, the ROK government is saying there is evidence to the contrary, American officials are saying that there is no evidence from US intelligence, and the Western news media organizations that were publicizing it are now retracting their statements.
Kim Jong-un sent greetings to the President of Cuba on Monday and sent birthday gifts to two Northerners for their 80th birthday.
The whole rumor started due to a statement by an "anonymous US official" which was published in CNN. Every other Western news outlets just blew it out of proportion, like they do with all news about the DPRK, after copying the CNN article.
Kim Jong-un is currently recovering from his surgery outside of Pyeongyang, according to ROK government sources, which are the usual source of information for a lot of news regarding the DPRK.

Other than that, what else can happen from a North Korean succession crisis?

Now there is a surprise. On the bright side it shows their reporting on anything the administration does is not out of malice but incompetence.

US intelligence might have it from a poor sauce. Probably in PRC or ROK. Dunno if they have some people on the ground inside the DPRK or informers. Maybe some diplomatic connections though and even that is doubtful.
according to a US official with direct knowledge.
