"South Korean shares tumble 4.87% following announcement of Kim Jong Il’s death"

"Speco, a defense equipment manufacturer, jumped by the daily limit of 15 percent to 2,350 won. Victek Co., which makes electronic warfare equipment, and Huneed Technologies (005870), a military communication equipment manufacturer, both rallied 15 percent. "

So basically it's North Korea's 9/11

I'd love to think things might change but it appears unlikely.

It's astonishing how brazen these propagandists can be:

Other official reports about Kim included claims that he had shot 11 holes-in-one the first time he picked up a golf club, that he could alter the weather just using his mind and that he had started walking at three-weeks-old and talking at eight weeks, London's Daily Telegraph reported.

Kim's official biography said that in elementary school he showed his revolutionary spirit by leading marches to battlefields where Korean rebels fought against Japanese occupiers of the peninsula.

By the time he was in middle school he had shown himself to be an exemplary factory worker who could repair trucks and electric motors, the biography claimed.

He went to Kim Il-sung University where he studied the great works of communist thinkers as well as his father's revolutionary theory, in a systematic way, state propaganda said.

North Korea analysts said however, Kim lived a life of privilege in the capital, Pyongyang, when his family returned to the divided peninsula in 1945.

a lot of people are just acting because of the the sheer number of state police informants there are. (a cry a day keeps the internment camp away)
a lot of people will (consciously or not) replicate the behaviour of others when emotionally awkward events happen

this isn't really that special, although it is a shame.
