In 2011, with the death of Kim Jong-il, North Korea faced the exigent task of establishing a stable successor regime around Kim Jong-un. At the same time, the regime was presented with the tasks of rapidly settling the Kim Jong-un regime, minimizing the problems that may arise during the accelerated, short-term power succession process due to Kim Jong-un’s untested ability, and presenting citizens with a vision of the power succession and sense of its validity. Politically, the Kim Jong-un regime’s power succession should not be a problem, as North Korea is a society based on the collective transfer of power. The revolutionary generation who participated in founding the socialist Chosun nation and their descendants had their own stake in politics and passed power down through the generations. Kim Jong-un comes from the storied family line of Baekdu Mountain and Mangyongdae, and thus he has the highest stake in power. Members of the revolutionary generation who have not made any noteworthy mistakes are guaranteed spots in the succession regime. Since instability in the Kim Jong-un regime translates directly to collective anxiety, the revolutionary generation will participate in ensuring a stable power succession. The tasks for Kim Jong-un is to persuade North Koreans of his vision for the future and change their quality of life. In the short term, the new regime will promote the idea of the leader’s eternal life by ruling in the name of Kim Jong-il’s precepts and emphasizing “the sole bloodline” passed down from Kim Il Sung via Kim Jong-il. The historical significance of the year 2012 will be emphasized as the regime proceeds with the power succession.
