Kim Jong Il wants to proceed his third son for the next leader of North Korea.

Before the experiment, there were several huge controversies:
1. during the end of Bush's administration when it had to agree to expose its nuclear facilities (angered many North Korean politicians)
2. issues in Shinuiju free trading district in North Korea
3. the Kaesong Industrial Park crisis
4. his stroke
5. the Japanese political crisis with the Liberal Democratic Party
6. Obama in office
7. South Korean president tried to intimidate North Korea militarily in his early "brutal regime" (even for a democratic country)
8. ex president Roh's court trial that led to his suicide
9. controversies in business issues with China (AKA the cargo train crisis)
10. Ryongchon train explosion years ago, likely an attempt coup against Kim Jong Il
11. The current world financial crisis.

These are the events that led to the nuclear experiment.

Yet people in the west forgot that Lee Myeong Bak really threatened North Korea before North Korea threatened South Korea right now.
