In this Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010 photo, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, right, and his third son Kim Jong Un attend the biggest parade ever to mark the 65th anniversary of the communist nation's ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang, North Korea. The casino-loving eldest son of North Korea's Kim Jong Il, once tipped to succeed him before trying to sneak into Japan to go to Disneyland, says he opposes a hereditary transfer of power to Kim Jong Un, his younger half-brother. While his disapproval is unsurprising, it's the first public sign of discord in the tightly choreographed succession process, though analysts said Kim Jong Nam has lived outside his native land for so long his opinion will carry little weight.
