What Happens to North Korea if Kim Jong-Un Dies? Nuclear Weapons, Disappearances & the Kim Family

Recently, North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un made headlines for something unexpected, he went missing. For weeks, no one saw him in public & the North Korean media & government said nothing about where he was. It became massive international news & rumours started swirling. Is Kim Jong-un dead? Is he in a coma? Did he have an operation that went badly? Has Kim Jong-un caught coronavirus? But, they weren’t the only questions being asked. If Kim’s no longer the Supreme Leader what happens next & would it be the end of North Korea as we know it? I decided to get in touch with some experts to find out more about North Korea itself & what the future holds. -- Reporting/Producing/GFX by Nicholas Maher, Behind the News -- Special thanks to: Bill Birtles - China Correspondent, ABC Dr Malcolm Davis - Senior Analyst in Defence, Strategy & Capability, Australian Strategic Policy Institute Dr Leonid Petr
