What will happen now?!

The news is out, the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il is dead. He was 69.
Kim's death was announced Monday by the state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.
Accoring to the news they believe he died last Saturday by a stroke.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff(JCS) on Monday placed all military units on emergency alert following the news of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's death.
The JCS called it an emergency meeting of officials handling crisis management and operations just after noon Monday, after the North Korean media reported Kim's death.


Other countries in Asia are now in shock and wonder what will happen.
Japan held an emergency security meeting after the news.
The economy is also shaking, it's reported that the benchmark KOSPI fell 89.36 points to 1,750.60 minutes after the news of KJI's death, however it's also reported it has slightly been edging back up again.
While S Korea's Kospi index dived 4.1 percent to 1,765.15 other Asian countries also stuck with the news.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index was down 1.1 percent at 8,304.47, Hong Kong's Hang Seng slid 2.5 percent to 17,833.42 and the Shanghai Composite Index fell 2.6 percent to 2,167.68.

The North declared a period of national mourning from December 17 to 29 and funeral will be held on Dec 28.



One mans death has one changed the world, we have no ideas what to expect now from the closed N. Korea. All we know is that S.Korea are now preparing for the worst! No-one knew this would happen and we do not now much about the son who is supposed to be "the next leader"
Will N.Korea survive this?
It's time to start praying
