Is this the next leader for North Korea?

Kim Jong-il with his youngest son, Kim Jong-un.

"Jong-un will be his father's successor. Everyone used to say it. He looked and acted just like him"

Telegraph

On Monday, analysts said Kim Jong-un had taken a step closer to power after his uncle, Jang Song-thaek, was promoted to the North's all-powerful National Defence Commission in anticipation of his role as "regent" to the politically inexperienced 27-year-old.[...]

Some first-hand insight into the character of Kim Jnr has comes from Kenji Fujimoto, a Japanese sushi chef who worked for Kim Jong-il and described the then young Kim as a "chip off the old block" - a calculating young man who always sought to be in control. [...]

"Jong-un will be his father's successor. Everyone used to say it. He looked and acted just like him", the chef wrote, admitting he only dared refer to the young Kim as "Prince".

"When he shook hands with me, he stared at me with a vicious look. I cannot forget the look in the Prince's eyes. It's as if he was thinking: This guy is a despicable Japanese'."
