What would happen to North Korea if Kim Jong Un died

SEOUL (AFP): North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has not been seen in public for more than two weeks, missing commemorations for a key political anniversary, and reports he underwent a cardiovascular procedure have spiraled into speculation he could be incapacitated or even dead.

Both Seoul and Washington have played them down, but there has been no concrete proof of life in Pyongyang’s state media, beyond reports of messages sent in his name.
