Now the question is: what does it mean for North Korea?

I'd like to think a young leader like Kim Jon-un would be more progressive, and be less cruel to his people then his father was. But then again, he was apparently chosen as heir because he's like his father. His older brother fell out of favor for trying to go to Tokyo Disneyland >_>.

Considering his young age - he will probably be just a figure head for generals ruling from shadows. After all if he didn't agree they can replace him at any time.
