Quote(Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il died of a heart attack while on a train trip, state media reported Monday, sparking immediate concern over who is in control of the reclusive state and its nuclear program.

A tearful television announcer dressed in black said the 69-year old had died Saturday of physical and mental over-work on his way to give "field guidance."

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

Died six months off schedule, as power was set to be handed over this summer.

판웨이는 김정일 사망에 대한 각국 표정에 대해 ▲북한은 '엉엉' 우는 슬픈 표정 ▲한국은 미소 짓는 모습 ▲일본은 이를 드러내고 웃는 모습 ▲미국은 입을 벌리고 크게 웃는 모습으로 선택해 표현했다. 또 ▲영국은 입을 가리고 웃는 모습 ▲러시아는 고심하는 모습 ▲중국은 당황해 하는 모습 ▲기타 국가들은 매우 놀란 모습으로 표현된 이모티콘을 사용했다.

Loose translation, via commentary at the marmot's hole:

"To describe each country's reactions to Kim Jong Il's death, a Chinese reporter summarized the reactions through emoticons."

South Korea:  :)

Japan:  :lol:

Nobody on the news seems to know if or how big any internal power struggle is going to be.

Can China (or anyone else) bring enough pressure on them to keep any such struggle internal (i.e., without anybody launching a few missiles over the southern border to prove how patriotic they are?)
