Chinese websites are censoring a phrase meaning "Kim Fatty the Third", a nickname widely used to disparage the North Korean leader, after officials from his country reportedly conveyed their displeasure in a meeting with Chinese counterparts. Searches for the Chinese words "Jin San Pang" on the search engine Baidu and microblogging platform Weibo returned no results this week.
The nickname pokes fun at Kim Jong-un's girth and his status as the third generation of the Kim family to rule the world's only hereditary communist dynasty. It's especially popular among young, irreverent Chinese who tend to look down on their country's would-be ally. [...] North Korean officials, fearing that Kim would find out about the nickname, lodged a formal request with China recently to prohibit names disparaging Kim from appearing in the media, according to Hong Kong newspaper reports.

Furthermore, South Korea at least pays lip service to the idea of reunification, and there are some families down south that will be willing to take in their estranged north side of the family. Polls show high support for reunification among South Koreans. NK's population is only about half of SK's. As long as their immediate needs following a regime collapse can be met by SK and the international community, many North Koreans could stay in the communities where they already live.
North Koreans have been exposed to some South Korean culture for years by smuggled VHS tapes, DVDs, and flash media.
