I am not familiar with the prison camp. I do think China calls a lot of the shots in N Korea, and the sister will not take over.

I’ll tell you how secretive this regime is. The CIA has been after he and his sisters DNA for years. In turn North Korea knows this and does everything to prevent it. One reason is that they want to prove once and for all that Jung Un and the sister are the children born by the mistress of Kim-Jung-I’ll and not the wife.
While at home they are relatively safe but the CIA does has people in North Korea so there is a special plumbing system where all of their “stuff” is caught in bags and incinerated. When they leave the palace or the country someone has the enviable job of retrieving their waste, bagged, and taken back to N. Korea.
if the grandfather and father can be embalmed and put on display for 50 years doing Rocket Man that way would be no problem.

All these world events have my normally unflappable self fashioning a tin foil hat as I sit in my bunker with my 999 rolls of toilet paper.
Trump says he knows Kim Jong Un's heath status, 'but i can't talk about it now'
Trump: I know the truth about Kim Jong Un's health
(I know, but I'm not gonna tell ya article) blah

There are two books I highly recommend if you’re interested in learning more about the inner workings of North Korea.
1. Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick
The author has interviewed more than 100 North Korean defectors, but she focuses primarily on the lives of six individuals over the span of 15 years.
Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick: 9780385523912 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
”Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive regime today—an Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. She takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, life-altering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them.“
2. Without You, There Is No Us: My Time with the Sons of North Korea’s Elite by Suki Kim
The author is a journalist who poses as a missionary to join a group of fellow missionaries who pose as English teachers in North Korea. She works undercover at a private school only attended by the male children of NK’s ruling class.
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/207216/without-you-there-is-no-us-by-suki-kim/
”As the weeks pass, she is mystified by how easily her students lie, unnerved by their obedience to the regime. At the same time, they offer Suki tantalizing glimpses of their private selves—their boyish enthusiasm, their eagerness to please, the flashes of curiosity that have not yet been extinguished. She in turn begins to hint at the existence of a world beyond their own—at such exotic activities as surfing the Internet or traveling freely and, more dangerously, at electoral democracy and other ideas forbidden in a country where defectors risk torture and execution.”

Amid health worries, Kim Jong Un’s role looms large
Tokyo – New rumors about Kim Jong Un pour in daily. The North Korean leader is dead. Or he’s very ill. Or maybe he’s just recuperating in his luxury compound, or isolating himself from the coronavirus.
As speculation about his health builds, an underlying question looms for professional spies, policymakers, academics and curious news consumers alike...

Don't believe Kim Jong-un is dead until you see the cortege
...Take reports of Mr Kim's imminent death with a bucket of salt - until you see the cortege.

Hmmm.Is Kim Jong Un dun?

I'm sure if the cruel and evil ruler of that country of despair is dead that many would not be saddened.

I personally don't ever know the "Real Truth" here. But I wouldn't put an assistant cover up past them.

When I saw CSIDreamer's post about Kim Jong Un being "dun", I couldn't get that song out of my head! DH and I had a good laugh over it
I don't think a little levity in these trying times is a bad thing

Interesting facts about Undun:
It was written by Randy Bachman after hearing Bob Dylan's "Ballad in Plain D", which included the phrase "she was easily undone". Bachman's song tells the story of a girl he had seen at a party who, after dropping acid, slipped into a coma. The song takes its structure from new jazz guitar chords Bachman had learned from his friend and neighbour Lenny Breau. During the Guess Who's 2000 reunion tour, Running Back Thru Canada, Bachman's former bandmate Burton Cummings declared the song to be one of Bachman's finest compositions and "one of the best songs ever written by any Canadian songwriter".[5] Bachman himself has stated that "Undun" is his favourite song from his time as a member of The Guess Who

Burton Cummings also learned to play the flute just for this song. I've always loved it.
Incredibly, it only scraped the Top 20, unlike "American Woman" or "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" which were both massive #1 hits.
