Extra Info:
"Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, was a CIA informant before he was assassinated in Malaysia in 2017, a report has claimed.
Citing an unnamed “person knowledgeable about the matter”, the Wall Street Journal said on Monday “there was a nexus” between Kim Jong-nam and the CIA, adding that many details of his relationship with the agency remained unclear.
According to the Journal’s source, Kim travelled to Malaysia in February 2017 to meet his CIA contact, although that may not have been the sole purpose of his trip."
The Journal’s claims could not be independently confirmed. But Anna Fifield, the Washington Post’s bureau chief in Beijing, said in her book The Great Successor: “King Jong-nam became an informant for the CIA … His brother would have considered talking to American spies a treacherous act. But Kim Jong-nam provided information to them, usually meeting his handlers in Singapore or Malaysia.”
“The book said security camera footage from Kim’s last trip to Malaysia showed him in a hotel lift with an Asian-looking man who was reported to be a US intelligence agent. It said Kim’s backpack contained $120,000 in cash, which could have been payment for intelligence-related activities, or earnings from his casino businesses.”
Notes: Lmao, L bozo to Kim Jong Nam. He got filthy prank’d.
Those poor girls though. Even if it really wasn’t their fault, imagine having to live with that.
I think one of them was exposed to the VX agent used in the assassination too :(
I skimmed the wiki page and it doesn’t say anything about that, I remember reading elsewhere that the DPRK agents took extra precautions that the women wouldn’t be harmed. Not sure how true that is, but the women were both fine from what it seems.
Edit: Nvm one did suffer symptoms, but nothing major at least
Not sure how reliable this is: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2017/02/24/one-suspect-in-kim-jong-nam-murder-suffered-effects-of-vx-agent--police-chief/
Anyway, yeah i guess they were given two substances that would combine to form the nerve agent when they came in contact (on his face).
I skimmed the wiki page and it doesn’t say anything about that
The media told me he was killed because he went to disney world, and jong-un didn’t want the competition in consolidating his power… but I’m starting to think working with the intelligence and terrorism arm of a state they are still at war with might have motivated the assassination?
Thankfully in freedom USA, you are allowed to work on behalf of enemy intelligence and will face no consequences whatsoever if caught

Motherfucker you sign up to be a CIA narc, you know the fucking risks. Dying is always a possibility in the espionage game. Most people avoid such a fate by not working on behalf of a terrorist regime.
lmao holy shit i’ve heard the myth that he just wanted to go to disney world so many times
2 Girls Accidentally Killed Kim Jong Un’s Brother Thinking It Was a YouTube Prank a Guy and a Pizza Place
Taking this at complete face value despite what Youtube “North Korea” Discourse is like, I’ve gotta say . . . fair enough? I mean, you work with the CIA, you’ve got that shit coming. It’s a shame that the girls were surely traumatized, but I imagine that if DPRK intelligence thought they could reliably accomplish the hit without involving these unwitting girls, they probably would have done that. It wasn’t just for shits and giggles, but a means that they were sure would not be caught.
