I don’t think he has descendants. I suppose some general takes it from here.

Successor

Kim Jong-il on North Korean stamps.
Kim’s three sons and his son-in-law, along with O Kuk-ryol, an army general, have been noted as possible successors, but the North Korean government has been wholly silent on this matter.[69] Kim Yong Hyun, a political expert at the Institute for North Korean Studies at Seoul’s Dongguk University, has said, “Even the North Korean establishment would not advocate a continuation of the family dynasty at this point.”[70] Kim’s eldest son Kim Jong-nam was earlier believed to be the designated heir but he appears to have fallen out of favor after being arrested at Narita International Airport near Tokyo in 2001 while traveling on a forged passport.[71]
On 2 June 2009, it was reported that Kim Jong Il’s youngest son, Jong Un, was to be North Korea’s next leader.[72] Like his father and grandfather, he has also been given an official sobriquet, The Brilliant Comrade.[73] It has been reported that Kim Jong Il is expected to officially designate the son as his successor in 2012.[74] However, there are reports that if leadership passes to one of the sons, Kim Jong Il’s brother-in-law, Chang Sung-taek, could attempt to take power from him.[74]
