kim jong un flag redesign: Month after Kim Jong Un death rumours, North Korea makes historic flag change for first time in 78 years
North Korea has altered the proportions of its national flag, marking the first change in 78 years. The revised flag features an aspect ratio of 1:1.65, which is different from the former 1:2 ratio. This change reflects Kim Jong-un's effort to create a new national identity separate from previous leaders. Recent rumors about Kim's health have circulated online, prompting North Korea to share images of him at public events.
Reports published on November 10 say some North Korean defectors believe Kim Jong Un’s daughter may be prepared to succeed him. The Idaho Press said she first appeared publicly with her father at major state events about four years ago, while noting little is known about her. The Daily Star said she has appeared at missile tests and military parades. The New Indian Express and The Manila Times cited defector Kim Yumi’s concerns about a possible hereditary transfer of power; the reports do not establish that Kim Ju Ae is the chosen successor.
