“I am skeptical about these reports,” said Lee Seung-yong, an official at Good Friends, a Buddhist-affiliated relief agency that collects news about North Korea from informants inside the country. “I even think that rumors spreading among party officials in North Korea about who’s succeeding Kim Jong-il actually originate in South Korean media, which then report these rumors.”
