I read later about the sister after my initial statement. I read she’s the real brains behind everything.
So, I stand corrected about being hopeful.

Remember; One of the main brains behind the brutal persecution of South Vietnamese Buddhists back in the early 1960s was a woman (then First-Lady, Trần Lệ Xuân a.k.a ‘Madame Nhu, The "Dragon Lady”’) and China had one or two Empresses who were really tyrannical.
That said; If a bunch of male chauvinism is afoot and causes chaos in the leadership, MAYBE some infighting might leave a narrow window for revolution.

The Kim Dynasty has always been seen as a Patrilinear thing with the Son & Grandson basically seen as God-Being reincarnations of the Grandfather…Kim Jong-Un & Kim Jong-Il being extensions of Kim Il-Sung. Kim Il-Sung is still considered the true, present, official Head Banana of North Korea despite being dead for 26 years. This is why all three guys dress the same and wear the same stupid haircut.
Now the latest “Kim” (unless Jong-Un turns out to be not dead) a person of the “inferior lady sex”…and one that looks cute (sorta; her face is kinda weird) with long hair and decent fashion sense…

…If she is the newest “Kim duJour”, I wouldn’t be surprised if she cut her hair and started crossdressing, looking like a slimmer, younger, more attractive Kim Jong-Un clone. Her name is Kim Yo-Jong, by the way.
Gender-bender deities are a thing in Asian countries.

Also; Many reports don’t really show N.K. bigwigs getting too worked up over the latest “Kim-duJour” being a woman. They may be a bit sexist but they do have women leaders and soldiers. They’re not The Taliban or DAESH. They’re only semi-backwards.

Regardless; I’m not holding my breath too much and the North Koreans won’t consider revolution because they’re scared out of their minds, anyone could be a government informant and punishment is gulag through three generations!
It’s hard to start “La Resistance” when you have no idea who’d be a real ally and punishments are harsh. It’s going to take a lot more than just air-dropping movies from the outside the world to inspire them.
They want to rebel but literally can’t. There needs to be outsiders infiltrating and helping the break the barriers preventing “La Resistance”.
The Kims likely read 1984 and used the Big Brother guys as inspiration, copying all the propaganda, mind-games, punitive punishments and fake-resistance movements that are likely just ploys to root out potential rebels.

That said; The North Korean dictatorship WILL fall, eventually. More is being known about them and a country like that can’t survive forever. SOMETHING WILL GIVE AND THE PEOPLE WILL REBEL.
