Softening Kim Jong-un's Image

There has been much talk about North Korea's new young leader, and attempts to view him in a different light seems to be a national effort. However in many cases, it seems to hold true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You may or may not have heard about a former girl friend of his, but this story seems to point out that nobody (including their families) is safe.

The Softening of Kim Joun-un's Image

The Kim dynasty is becoming fragile as their behavior becomes more erratic and unpredictable, and their anemic economy sinks deeper. The recent execution of Kim's uncle, Jang Song-thaek, validates that no one is safe from his paranoia, suspicion, and vengeance. It is only a matter of time before this style of politics and acrimony becomes a path for his own ultimate end. History once again is destined to repeat itself.
