O Kuk-ryol and Jang Song-taek apparently have gaining power in the North. Both are Kim Jong-il's closest associates, but power is leaning toward the former. Commanding the Operation Department of the party for a long time and enjoying Kim Jong-il's absolute trust, O has built firm personal links in the armed forces. Now even Kim cannot afford to remove O. Jang Song-taek, meanwhile, lost his two elder brothers in the armed forces to heart attacks and has few close associates remaining due to incessant intrigue against him. The power structure is cracking. This is an interesting comment. So in his view, while Jang is more visible on media, O Kuk-ryol is more powerful. This means that O can easily veto Jang's decison. Chia Head wants O to serve as the last guardian of Kim Dynasty. O may be capable of creating a fiery end. China may co-opt Jang, but O could be the greatest obstacle to China's design for Korea.
