From what I understand his sister could possibly be next in line and is more ruthless than him. Those people ain’t getting a break until they take their country back.

"Back" implies they once had it. Before the commies, there were Japanese. Before the Japanese, there were Chinese. Before the Chinese, there were Mongols. Before the Mongols there were Chinese. .... During all this span, there was one brief era of Korean dynasty. None of these expressed the people's will.
Sure, if you chase anything back far enough, you come to authoctonous peoples somewheres in distant time. We may assume skin clad Parks and Rhees elected their tribal chief during the ice ages; but there is no evidence of it. Far back as we can know, all Asians have always been ruled by autocrats.
The deal is, self-government does require some sort of cultural traditions. Which there are none. Instead, you have a situation where the only road to self-government is one imposed from abroad. In India, two centuries of British Raj did the trick. That practice stopped at Hong Kong. I have read that there is no word in any language anywhere east of the Med which so much as possesses a word for freedom. If you cannot say it, then you have never even conceived of it. Ever. Perhaps South Korea could sit on North Korea long enough to wise them up... if China would allow it.
Who was it, was it Powell or Schwartzkopf, I forget, who, when discussing why we didn't oust Saddam after the first Desert Storm, remarked: "Who would replace him? We have no idea. All we know is, he will have a mustache and wear an olive drab shirt."
We arrogantly assume that the whole sweep of human history leads toward us. We assume everyone aspires to freedom. If they did, they would have at least taken a bite at it.
Who would replace Kim? A Park with a funny haircut? A Lee with a funny haircut? What ruthless pudge bleeds the people next?
All we do know is, whoever it may be, they will goose-step past his portrait, professing their love.
... and who are we to talk? Things have come to the pass where the ruling elites murder a potentially embarrassing witness in prison, no problem; where the President bails out banksters in lieu of shovel ready jobs; where Bill secretly meets Loretta on the tarmac to talk about the grand children; where the national secret police get busy plotting a coup; where, plainly, Congress is nought but a Parliament of whorz, at best. We preserve the cultural traditions of liberty, but not the practice of it.
Every form of government devolves into oligarchy.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—In a powerful display of their care for love and justice, protesters in Minneapolis burned the word "LOVE" into the city, arranging the inspiring message with homes and businesses set ablaze by their riots.
Heartfelt and moving.
