Dammit.

His heir's age also very debatable. Almost all news outlets mentioned like this

While there was no immediate statement on official succession, there were clear indications that Kim's 20-something son, Kim Jong Un, would be in charge. - Associated Press

But Wikipedia makes clear cut his birthdate. I might be get confused sometimes about these people.

Kim is thought to have been born in 1983 or early 1984.^[5] North Korean officials currently gave his date of birth as 8 January 1984.^{[10] - -} Wikipedia

North Koreans are devastated.

Kim Jong Un has just fired a short range missile. His first official act.

crocodile tears - because if they don't, they'll be executed.

I was under the impression that the North Korean people have always thought of their leader as some sort of a demi-god. So how are they accepting that he just died suddenly of a heart attack at 69? That seems like mediocre mortal at best.

They see him as more of a father figure/protector against the whole rest of the world that wants them destroyed.
