Following the election in South Korea, residents of North Korea will also head to the polls this week to choose between Supreme Leader candidates Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Un or Kim Jong Un.

Yesterday it was announced that the Democratic Party’s Lee Jae-myung would become the next president of South Korea, with North Korea now being given the chance to vote for their new leader.

“Residents are really struggling to choose between the three candidates,” said North Korea correspondent Simon Williams.

“On the one hand, Kim Jong Un is seen as the best choice for Supreme Leader. Then again, Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Un would also bring their own unique qualities to the role. It’s a tough one to call.

“I spoke to a man who got his postal vote yesterday and he had no idea which box to cross. He was hovering his pen over Kim Jong Un for quite a while, but he eventually decided to vote for Kim Jong Un instead. 

“The opinion polls are no use either. Some are predicting that Kim Jong Un is going to win, whereas others show strong indications that it’s actually Kim Jong Un that looks mostly likely to become leader.

“In the end, I’m sure democracy will prevail.”
