In 2017, Siti Aisya and Doan Thi Huong were paid to perform pranks at Kuala Lumpur airport. They unknowingly targeted Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. After being smeared with baby oil, Kim felt dizzy and later died. This incident highlights the dangers of seemingly innocent pranks.

Hi Mike, please upload a video about the rise & fall of 4th Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾
A great video. I love it!
I wonder how we know that ground news is neutral...
Can you make a video of the battle of post keating you talked about a little on the broken arrow video but is it possible that make a full video on the battle that would be great. I love your videos
What’s funny is that these guys were recruited by shady people for pranks and they were doing it for a long time, they just didn’t know this one would be a political assassination
It's kinda like Ghost in the Shell if you think about it
Read about the Phoebe Fraunces, the black girl that prevented Gen. Washington from being poisoned, and you'll draw similarities.
They needed to train them and build trust with non-lethal pranks, that had parts of final plan.
Thus this final "prank" was just a routine "prank #4" from the list of pranks they did many times before.
Imagine, the United States planned the invasion of my homeland Malaysia if Perikatan Nasional (National of Alliance) won the GE16 (or PRU 16) & support to Russia & Iran (or China) against the American
@@Rin8Kin True, but it's at the same time something that'd not have happened if they had any self respect and denied the offer.
I certainly could use another extra 100$, but I'd definitely not start harassing people for that little cash, the extra trouble that could potentially bring is absolutely not worth that little (somehow gotta pay that lawyer after all if one of the victims would be allergic to baby oil and possibly the bail if they prosecute you for an unprovoked attack).
"Carrying out an assassination via lacing two different containers of baby oil with two separate chemicals when combined form a deadly nerve toxin and disguising the assassination as a prank video" honestly sounds like something a modern Bond villain would come up with. Truth be stranger than fiction sometimes
that's North Korea for you
kingsman villain
Very similar to Joker’s plan in Batman ‘89.
The reason is (good) fiction has to follow some kind of narrative, while in real life there doesnt need to be a reason for anything to happen aside from simple cause and effect.
@@battlesheep2552 the other reason is kim jong un doesnt live in reality and is a bond villian
It's just a prank bro!
The prank:
Look over there....look the cameras right there.

The fact said "japanese TV show" never aired makes me believe it was a assassination plan from the start, and the previous pranks were made just to lure the two woman into believing it was a prank. So yeah a bunch of actual pranks so they wouldn't be the wiser when the real deal happened
You worked that out yourself, huh? 🤣
No! That’s not true! THATS IMPOSSIBLE!
@@impulseelectrobrine1259 Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
@@kingsnakke6888 NOOOOO! No!
despite how evil but it's an outstanding move, that far to disguising the scheme, imagine you have that much patient to unalive someone in your sigh.
and then people wonder why pranksters get shot or beaten
Literally no one wonders. That’s why that dude who shot those last TH-cam pranksters was found innocent
And that's exactly why you should never, ever accept a complete stranger's offer to "prank" another complete stranger.
Especially not for that little cash.
Imagine going up to strangers, smearing them with baby oil for 100$ just to figure out that one would be allergic even if it'd be legit. There's no way that any producer of such a show would say "Ah yes, we're gonna pay the lawyers and a possible bail for you".
@@Unknown_Genius "Especially not for that little cash."
Regarding that point, there are sure to be cases where people have done such foolish things for far less than that.
@@Daniel4646 Fair point.
But usually it doesn't include putting random substances on random people without even knowing what it is or knowing if they're allergic to it - that requires a really specific kind of person that can only be described as dumb.
@@Unknown_Genius Well, there's a sucker somewhere in the world at any moment...
@@Daniel4646 true enough, as sad as it is
Titles you dont expect to read for 100 please.
Yep, got me to watch real quick, lol.
“Accidentally” planned murder …
I already knew the story, just clicked because it was inaccurate. It was all planned, nothing was accidental
Not even surprised
@@nebula189they said to her it was a prank
And ever since 2021, Malaysia has ceased all diplomatic ties with North Korea.
#BoycottIran
@@azimisyauqieabdulwahab9401 do Iran even export their goods anymore?
😂 does Malaysia or North Korea need anything from each other?
Malaysia do not claim NK at all
Probably realised how evil NK is after the incident
What's worse is that he died in my country which has nothing to do with N.Korea. thus creating another conflict
Nk is just a distraction
The bigger problem will be china
And who benefits from this, I wonder?
@@gore0ru it's all a conspiracy
@@awesomenurmzamri5789man,then what happen next?
@@gore0ruummm, their brother?
Ah yes, Kim Jong Un doing some tomfoolery with his brother
Gonna prank my bro when he gets back
These women just destroyed the chance of North Korea being free.
😢
😢
So true he was the only nice and kind one
Welp this called for the ☕️ moment :v
Well you may never know whose your boss is actually working for, and you being the pawn unknowingly
Its called an assassination.
TH-cam won’t let them or they get demonetized
i dont even know what to say about this, and im also too lazy to research it myself but now the quote "its just a prank bro" has a different meaning.
It’s real. I remember when this happened. The only debate was whether these women were in on it from the start or patsies.
I’m starting to think this wasn’t an accident, way I think about it.
Yeah definitely not, this is far too strange and coincidental to have not been the intended ending
Definitely was an assassination
i hope you dont vote
It wasn't and I don't know why this video frames it like that. Chinese propaganda.
@@GrandDukeMushroom i mean, the girls didnt know they had neurotoxins on their hands, but the people who put them there did. im not sure how you came to the conclusion that this video paints the scene as an accident
It wasn't for YT, it was told it was for a YT prank video by the men who hired the women to disguise the assassination as a harmless prank and using YT as an excuse
Exactly
Whoah now you think about it
Hey thanks for restating exactly what the video said
@@aj3751 i meant the title was misleading and mentioned it being intentionally for youtube rather than using yt as an excuse
The women did it for TH-cam, they just didn't know it never went there.

It's an assassination not a prank
If you've watched the video, you would know a North Korean saboteur convinced the 2 ladies to rub the oil across Kim Jong Nam's face by claiming it was for a "Japanese prank channel" and thus the 2 ladies unintentionally carried out the assassination.
it was just a prank bro
Good cover....
Do you know what a perspective is? Do you realize two things can be true at the same time? Or do you just enjoy whining?
I'ts just a prank bro
As an Indonesian, I heard this news, lucky enough for Siti since Indonesians still able to negotiate to free Siti from the trials for this murder, especially since both Indonesia and NK had good relations....
I'm still hate North Korean as their selfishness, but i'm Indonesia and feel disagree about this relationship. :(
Excuse me, did the NK were sentencing them? I mean they're put in trial in Malaysia not in NK.
@@marcvsjvniobrvtvs393 from what I heard the Malaysians who did the trials...
@@indo-malayanfederationmapp891 i see it, i'm just try to correcting you man, NK did not do anything to free them from their prosecutions, and of course this incident happened in my country Malaysia and everything is our jurisdictions. And once again, the NK didn't do anything even try to help them free.
@@indo-malayanfederationmapp891 NK government did not even take responsibility or admit for the women they framed, not even sent their delegations to discuss this matter to solve it. For your last paragraph it should be between Indonesia and Malaysia that have good relationship.
thankyou simple history for putting my home country of Malaysia in your channel
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am a Malaysian too
Im Indonesian
Overproud malaysian😂😂
It’s even sadder realizing he was trying to make north korea a democracy.
Can't wait for the movie. It'll probably be titled something deceptively alluding to the key part of the story... like "In Your Eyes....".😕
ROTFL!
That's PUNitively funny.
The 'employment' in Malaysia scenes would be the sexy scenes for sure
Why does the title contain the word 'accidentally'!? It wasn't an accident. These women were tricked into killing him.
The same reason it contains TH-cam and Prank. It is true yet false.
For the women they intended to just prank, for TH-cam, and didn't know of any fatal effects of it.
Then you pull back the curtain and see the hidden actors who setup the assassination.
That's right
I remember this case in 2017 when i was in primary school. I was so shocked that the possible threat that might happen to malaysia. My friend and i at that time joking the north koreans army could send nuclear weapons to malaysia as sign of their anger. Fuh, i could simply say the threat is no longer on us but the devastating thing is malaysians could not travelled to north koreans anymore after this case
To be fair, not many interesting things in North Korea anyway
Most wouldn't even wanna travel there anyway 😂
I heard about this before. But didn't know the entirety of it.
I don’t think the pranksters realize they were hired by the DPRK to assassinate Kim jong un’s brother
DPRK, exactly!
DPRK stands for Depressing PaRt of Korea
Wild how many people don’t understand the title… or the definition of “accidentally” especially from the perspective of the “pranksters”.
Sure out of all people it was Kim jun un brother💀
I clicked on the video expecting it to be an actual accident. 🤷🏾♀️ It’s intentionally phrased that way for clickbait, not just “from the perspective of the pranksters”. A title like “Assassins Trick Innocent Women Into Killing Kim Jong Nam” would be more apt, though not quite as enticing. This was a crazy story either way; I know they felt terrible for what happened.
The KGB: Write that down! Write that down!
Excuse me what?!

If you watched the video of the attack, it didn't look like a prank. It looked like a trained attack by 2 brainwashed agents. It was an excuse to blame a prank. This attack was well thought out using nerve agent.
Poor Mr. Kim!
I agree, but none the less it does appear the two ladies had no idea they were participating in an assassination attempt, no idea they were handling the precursors to VX.
They are pranksters with experience after all.
Very possible. Especially since they knew to wash their hands immediately.
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 Of you had baby oil on your hands you'd wash your hands too. I don't think you can prove one way or the other, but knowing what we know about North Korea, they were disposable so I would believe they were never let in on the real plan.
Nam would probably been a better leader than his brother
You really would prefer a playboy gambler? 🤣
@BinhTran-mw9hg you must be fun at parties.
@@BinhTran-mw9hg we would
@@BinhTran-mw9hgover a dictator yes
@@analex4044 Well, there were quite a lot of playboy kings and leaders in history, and their regimes did not go well. Some examples:
Elagabalus of the Roman Empire
Commodus of the Roman Empire
Caligula of the Roman Empire
Ibrahim of the Ottoman Empire
George IV of England
Trần Dụ Tông of the Trần Dynasty
Farouk of Egypt
I do not praise dictatorship, but to assume that a playboy would do better than an iron hand is just silly. Half-solution is only as good as no solution at all. But whatever, who are we to decide? Let the Korean handle their internal affair.
As a Malaysian, I wonder why this didn't become a bigger meme, I remember when this is happening no ones give a flippin FAQ
I can’t believe 2017 is already Simple History
Your stories about korea are awesome !!
Okay but why do they think that assaulting somebody is a prank?? Sure, they didn’t know it killed him, but still they assaulted him by putting that over his face.
But the worst thing is that it made it extremely strict for 13 days because you couldn’t smile.
Imagine a future where he actually replaced Kim Jong Un
Next Target on their "prank" list: Kim Jong Un
My geography teacher showed me the cctv footage of the prank
This is just a joke but it can change the politics of the three countries North Korea Malaysia and Indonesia Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩
South Korea too
It was no accident. It was a planner assassinstion. The only people not in on it were the ones actually doing it
Luckiest woman didn't get death penalty
Um… accidentally? This was a targeted killing.
Not on the part of the pranksters. Look at the title of the video again.
Well they thought they smeared baby oil on his face, not a vx agent
Someone just want to vacation, but get killed by a prank, what a people is they are.
prank detected ⚠️⚠️⚠️
opinion rejected 🫸
@@Xəerohuno reverse card
10:11 the police officer's arm badge says 'pokemon d4' on it lol
45 years old is considered an old man? Huh?
The future is now, old man
45 years young
South Korean people will call either an uncle or an old man so yeah SK considered that
They accidentaly made mass destruction for 100 bucks bro
I mean 100$ is 1 million indonesian rupiah and to get it just by pranking people? Alot of indonesian wouldve taken the deal.
Bro must have dissapeared a day later
To be clear: It wasn't an accident! It was a deliberate assassination
*accidental assasination made by 2 people that was tricked
@@rogeryscankill962 Not really, the people who told them to do it wanted Kim Jong-Nam dead, so it was very deliberate
That's a pretty clever way to dump liability risks without risking war. Someone should make a game like this where its like hitman but in a politcal chess format
Everyone associated with a dictator’s bloodline is fair game.
We should be thankful this didn’t become a tipping point because this has all the signs of a diplomatic incident
Thank, finally you mentioning kuala Lumpur
overproud malaysian
but doesn't that mean the second person putting the activating agent would also get the first oil on themselves too???
People need to change the phrase "it's just a prank" to "my braincells is dying".
They were not prankers they were killers and involved in the crime im 100% sure they knew what they were doing
“Accidentally” LOL 😅
Pranks is not normal in Malaysia, those poison were in fact VX Nerve agent
It's like trying to crush a worm and then you realize it was a dragon's tail
He would be rushed to the hospital but would die before the ambulance would arrive.
Wait, what?
“The TH-cam prank that accidentally killed Kim jong un-“
Me: “yes, Yes, YES!”
“The TH-cam prank that accidentally killed Kim jong un’s brother.”
Me: “no, No, NO!”
This isn’t even a prank anymore! This is like a political assassination!
If THIS is a what a prank is now, then Lee Harvey Oswald really got JFK with that goofy little trick. And man did John Wilkes Boothe catch Lincoln right on the money with the absolute classic whacky REAL gun gag. Was crazy bro everybody had a good and friendly time. Everybody had fun. Just a wholesome game of y'know murder for political reasons
As you say one quote from movies: It's all fun an games, until someone get's hurt.
Something tells me Kim Jong Un ordered this hit.
I haven’t seen the video fully but the worst part is that the pranksters didn’t know they would kill him
10:11 The arm patch that says POKEMON. Lol
Even if it was a regular old man that prank isnt funny its only funny if the victim laughs in pranks like this
It was not a prank,but more like killing him by using someone to do your job, when you take the credit for his assasination
Ah it's good you got coverage about this news, but unfortunately the world does not know about this incident happened in my country.
Great Video As Always ! 👏👏👏
As a Malaysian,yes we almost got threatened to get vanished because of this pranksters
The paul brothers are taking notes 😅
Every time I hear of him I think of James Franco and Seth Rouen’s : “The Interview”…
They hate us cuz they ain't us.
😢 He died in Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia
did not expected the prankster is from indonesian
Title says accidentally. I didn't realise North Korea was able to release propaganda to the US
I never thought I would hear someone say “When a TH-cam prank killed Kim Jon Un’s brother”
i hate pranks that harms people
Accidentally? Bro this was an assassination.
Taken from official website of the ministry... "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs hereby informs the public that all Malaysians are banned from travelling to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) until further notice."
Tbh how cheeky of kim doing prank on his older brother 😅😂
Public pranks involving physical contact should be banned universally, everyone who performs them should be charged with assault. They’re not funny
Yes a tragic “Accident”
I saw this prank on America's Funniest Videos complete with nonstop laugh track.
Love it all, thanks
0:07 what a description of ya target 😂😂😂
I was just looking for this
Great video, should do one on David Bruce Bleak!
I mean, that's horrible.. but.. credit where credit is due that's a pretty well executed psyop assassination. The building of trust with the pranksters that it was an innocent game show. Getting them used to pranking the public and entering people's personal space. Then, priming them with the idea its acceptable to spray liquid on someone as a prank. Or rub oil on their eyes... keeping the casualty down to only the target. Better than those perfume weilding Russians.
Breaking news: a reporter has time traveled from D-day !
Ok so: I did not know that Kim Jong Un had a father since he looks father less from the start,because Kim Jong Un killed his father AND NOW HE HAS A BROTHER?
Skip to 4:57
Yeah, no, pretty sure that was a hit. Maybe they never knew who their victim was, but it was a hit.
No joke, no pranks has seen. Its a Murder!!!
I read the title and just immediately thought 'executed.'
Are you saying this because he is older😡
These girls deserved more time in prison tho even if they thought it was just prank,do they know how tired someone is after a flight and so they won’t do anything for money anymore
