It will be interesting if the rumors are true that his sister has taken over.

Pics of sister or it never happened?

Seriously, it's hard to see how any change could help being an improvement.

How to tell who's running North Korea
(Alternatively; determine the highest ranking person in a room/photo)

For this project you will need one or more of the following:
1. Bathroom Scale
2. Tape Measure

The speculation and watching official media video for the tiniest of clues reminds me of the days when the kremlin-watchers used to do the same with the soviet union leaders.

Interesting situation over there.

I made a prediction two years ago on another site, it will be interesting to see if I was right.

Too many strange things going on to just be coincidence. Maybe there's a power struggle going on behind the scenes, maybe the dear leader has been dispatched to the afterlife, maybe he's got some serious illness that they're trying to keep secret. Dunno, but looks like something is up.

I wouldn't be suprised if he's sick and just wants his nation to survive. Might have turned over control and told management to open shit up. Hence.. the quick dispatch to SK.

one can only hope.

I actually read reports there is a split between the military leaders and Kim Jong-Un. One side (I don't recall which) is far more open to working with outside nations to expand trade and such, while the other is content to stick with their current ways. Perhaps, dear leader has gone underground or is distancing himself in the event of a coup?
