At a closed meeting held on November 3, the leadership of South Korean intelligence announced the growing influence of the younger sister of the leader of the DPRK Kim Jong-un, Kim Yeo-jong. This was reported by Yonghap.
Kim Yeo-jung is now the first deputy head of the organizational department of the ruling party. She reportedly presided over all activities to mark the 75th anniversary of the Korean Workers' Party.
According to Yonghap, the powers of Kim Jong-un's sister may be expanded.
Earlier, the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri reported that North Korea is preparing an emergency plan for the transfer of power from 2019, under which his younger sister Kim Yo Jong will take over the country instead of the current leader Kim Jong-un. It is known that she also studied in Switzerland and is a confidant of Kim Jong-un and the second most powerful person in the country. In March, the first official international statement was issued on her behalf.
The DPRK leader's sister is called a powerful player in North Korea. In her home country, she is called the “princess”, although she acts like a Terminator, wrote the New York Post journalists.
