This week on WDDD, Sarah brings us an exciting story that seems like it could only be a Hollywood movie.
The former North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-il, had several possible heirs, but the first in line had a knack for infuriating his father. When he had the audacity to try to sneak his family into Disneyland Japan, it was the final straw.
While some parents might seek a milder punishment, for the Supreme Leader, the only reasonable move was to arrange for his son's assassination.
However, when his attempts failed, and he passed away, Kim Jong-nam thought he might be off the hook. Yet, his troublesome and unpredictable little brother was right there to pick up where his father had left off.
Join us for this incredible tale of a long-game assassination plot that's almost too wild to believe.
