Just imagine if it was indeed true that a Kim Jong Il assassination had taken place. The North Korean leader (sometimes spelled as Kim Jung Il as proper Korean romanisation) has presided with an iron fist over the communist country, with his father before him also in the same position. If you were to visit the country, you would have to bow to huge statues of both Kim Jong Il and his father as a mark of respect. There have even been songs created to portray Kim Jong Il as legends and his father as a heavenly bird that descended to save the country. If Kim Jong Il had indeed been assassinated, it would have been picked up by more than just one unknown South Korean online new site. More global media giants would have jumped on it fast and the news would spread like wildfire.
And with the recent disasters that have fallen on Asian countries like Myanmar and China, despite not being everyone’s favourite country or person, a Kim Jong Il assassination would be another blow to the stability of the region. There is not much information as to how the regime will continue in the event of the North Korean leader meeting an end to his time, and it is not helped by the amount of secrecy that the country is shrouded in. But it is without a doubt that countries like China still have close ties with them and if chaos were ever to descend upon the country as a result of something as unfortunate as an assassination on Kim Jong Il, it might have further repercussions on the situation between them and South Korea as well.
