It's not cockroaches, Cher or Riaan Cruywagen who will outlive us all. It's Ri Chun Hee.
Her face is known to millions of people around the world although she lives in one of the most notoriously secluded countries in the world.
Yet when she once again popped up on Sunday on television, everyone knew some big announcement was forthcoming.
On Sunday, framed in front of a TV screen backdrop of Mount Paektu, the dormant volcano on the Chinese border that symbolises North Korean nationhood, Ri Chun Hee shuddered with excitement - not because she caught another one in Pokemon Go - but because she could announce another massive hydrogen bomb explosion test as "the perfect success".
Ri Chun Hee (74) has been the news anchor on North Korea's state broadcaster for longer than even South Africa's Riaan Cruywagen, and on Sunday, as in the preceding 4 decades, Ri Chun Hee appeared on North Korea's Korean Central Television (KCTV) to proclaim that the dear leader's army tested a hydrogen bomb.
The excitable Ri is always very brave as she keeps telling North Korea and the world the news and pushes through her words although she's visibly fighting back and tries not to become overwhelmed with emotion.
She's the global face of North Korea's propaganda machine, much like Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games book and film series and in 2016 the BBC called Ri Chun Hee "probably the most famous newsreader in the world".
Now a grandmother, Ri Chun Hee, who was born poor in 1943, first appeared on North Korea's TV service way back in 1971 and became the main news anchor in 1974.
Whenever there's deaths like those of dear leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, intercontinental ballistic missiles being launched, or nuclear bombs being tested, it is Ri who comes on air to break down and cry, excitedly jump up and down in her chair like Pokemon, or to bombastically scold and attack the evil America and the rest of the free world.
The lovely Ri sooths and calms - even when she announces that North Korea has nuclear bombs that can kill millions - showing that nothing about North Korea's regime will apparently ever change.
Even in her never-changing appearance, like again on Sunday when the world stopped and stared, Ri seems somehow encased in amber: almost always on TV in a pink traditional Korean hanbok behind the anchor desk, with her raven black hair perfectly done.
While even Wikipedia calls Ri Chun Hee who lives in the capital of Pyongyang "retired", she is definitely not.
According to North Korea, their exulted news reader is held in very high regard for her "resonant voice, impressive mood and outstanding eloquence" - things that Cher and Riaan Cruywagen who won't survive a nuclear detonation like Ri would - can never dream to have.
Over decades Ri Chun Hee has perfected the art of TV news reading melodrama.
The professional Ri is beloved for the way in which she can be seen battling to hold back tears, chastising the enemies of North Korea and appearing ever-present for the news from the totalitarian dictatorship known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Katharine H.S. Moon, a professor at Wellesley College, told Britain's Channel 4 that Ri Chun Hee "in many ways serves as the public mother image, or feminine image for the state, because North Korean never has allowed any of the wives of the North Korean leaders to be in public life. It's so rare."
"She's highly-trusted by the state. She is literally the voice of the state to the public."
"People have become so accustomed to her face - she is the one who is trusted by the people because she is the one they meet every night on the television."
