Oldest wanted to liberalize, he's out. Middle son is a "girly man", so he's out. Youngest wanted to keep the revolution and isn't a gay. He wins.
And then, in true Game of Thrones style, murders his oldest brother, making sure there are no legitimate successors should he die.
EDIT: Also, fuck Gawker. Doesn't even mention how Kim Jong Nam wanted to liberalize the country, freeing the North Korean people from the hellish existence forced on them, even though such a move would be extremely dangerous for him personally. He could easily have been killed by his father for even saying he wanted to liberalize, and was killed by his younger brother when Un took power. Man should be celebrated.
