President for Life? Throughout his decades in power, Kim has managed to keep his country on lockdown, with his army of socialist soldiers unaware of the possibilities beyond their borders. That may be changing. As Kim Hyun Sik puts it, “More than 10,000 North Koreans have resettled in South Korea and tens of thousands hid in China….The people who pledge their loyalty to Kim could very well be the people who point rifles at him tomorrow. They offer their loyalty not to him but to the power that he holds. And that power could vanish in an instant.”
