How will Kim Jong-un rule Korea differently from his father?

Asked by NayNayNayNay (37points) December 25th, 2011

He had not served a day in the military. I know how cruel North Korea’s armed forces can be to new soldiers, so none of their cruelty rubbed off on him, it seems.

He went to school in Switzerland for two years as a teen. He’s therefore seen the outside world and knows what it’s like to live in a wealthy, first-world nation.

And most of all, he’s seen the abject poverty of common North Koreans.

With the impact the outside world that he’s had as an impressionable teenager, will he be more open to opening up the nation to better human rights & economic development? Will North Korea finally end its isolation, be integrated with the world, and perhaps even reunite with South Korea?

Either way, how will he rule the nation differently?
