Kim Yo-jong, 32

No one knows if that’s true, but there are widespread reports that the overweight, chainsmoking Supreme Leader of North Korea expired during or after emergency heart surgery. Or maybe he’s in a vegetative state. Speculation about Kimmy succeeding him is boiling away like a K-steamer. She is said to be brutally tough and since blood-line is everything in whacky Pyongyang politics, the odds seem good that she might succeed her brother in this almost exclusively man’s world.
