A man standing next to Kim Jong-il in a photograph that was released last month in a North Korean newspaper has spurred interest. There is a high possibility that the man is Kim Jong-un, Kim's third son. If it is Kim Jong-un, it could be viewed as a push to build a cult of personality around Kim Jong-un to prepare him to take control after Kim Jong-il because of Kim's declining health.
Analysts also say that if Kim died too soon there could be a scramble for power and could possibly lead to collapse.
