Half Brother: Park and Korean Citizens

half brother: And all in the same day, no less, according to The Chronicle Herald. The two bits of news may not exactly qualify as happy endings even for Pyongyang. Not only did North Korean officials manage to repatriate the body of leader Kim Jong Un's estranged half brother and three North Korean citizens questioned in his assassination after a diplomatic standoff with Malaysia, but they also had the distinct pleasure of watching the humiliating arrest of their arch-enemy, South Korea's fallen president, Park Geun-hye. There's still a murder trial to be held in Malaysia that could be very embarrassing, and the fall of Park hardly ends the two Koreas' conflicts. The political demise of Park was one would imagine particularly sweet for Pyongyang. But coming just ahead of the North's biggest official festivities of the year, the April 15th celebrations of the birth anniversary of national founder and eternal president Kim Il Sung, they might be adding a little more pep to the leader gratitude being expressed within the regime these days.
