While I'm glad this asshole is dead, I am worried about what his son would do. Hope he doesn't make any rash decisions in order to prove himself. It would be nice if it was painful.[/list]

I am leaving Korea in less than three weeks/ Should I send my money home ASAP before the Won tanks against the dollar when this news hits the presses on Monday in the US? Everytime there is an international incident or "instability" the exchange rate drops so should I wait and see or transfer it?

I'm curious too. I was going to send money home, and might go do it today before the Won tanks.

big news, I guess it will take some time for Kim Jong Un to consolidate his position if he indeed succeeds his father. It is going to be a little bumpy during the next few months.

If we send money today will be be locked into todays rate or will the bank just automatically use the rate that hits on Monday?

you get the rate that it was when you sent the money. The bank gives you a receipt.

Too late the Won has already dropped 20 to the dollar. KOSPI is down 76 pts. Give it a couple days to settle down.

kim jong un is nothing.

Chang Song-taek is the man now.

you think these hardcore military ajossis are going to bow 90 degrees to a 26 year old kid? they bowed when he was standing next to his father.
but now.. I don't think so..


Chang Song-taek controls the nation now, and he is not going to hand the keys over to KJU

I think we will see some internal fighting.
