I'm sorry, but if there were an issue regarding their "complicated history," then why did no one in the company dead the pitch from Rogen and Goldberg in the first place? Or at least change the pitch so that it's a fictional leader of a fictional country.
And I'm fully aware that this is all about money, and am also aware that in the leaked emails Sony didn't think much of this, that this was just a stupid little movie that would go out into the world, make some bread, then fade away, like the other Rogen/Goldberg movies... even though Kim Jong Un had been crying about this shit since the spring, when the first deluge of trailers began showing.
Again, somebody up the supply chain should have understood what the punchline of the movie was (because be clear, killing Kim Jong Un IS the punchline of the movie) and, armed with some sort of knowledge of if/how Sony Japan relates to North Korea, hipped our good executive buddies in 'Murica to that information before this shit got the green light, much less shot, edited, promoted to death, then put into position to roll into theaters in 8 days.
You don't have to be a fan of fucking Seth Rogen movies to know that it's a shitty deal.
