PYONGYANG, KOMPAS.com – North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong Un is still in the midst of many parties, is he still alive or dead like most rumors?
To be sure, nicknamed The Rocket Man, he has three strong women who are in the circle of his power.
Reported by the New York Post, in recent weeks, Kim’s sister who has a strong position, Kim Yo Jong became the center of media attention.
Many say that the Yo Jong figure can replace Kim Jong Un if the great leader dies or suffers from serious illness.

In addition, there is also the figure of Ri Sol Ju, Kim’s wife who was a former singer and entertainer.
Kim Sol Ri’s marriage is arranged, as is the custom in North Korea. They have two or perhaps three children from their marriage.
Meanwhile, a former CIA analyst Jung H Pak in his new book claims that Kim Jong Un sees himself as a rushed Korean figure like President John F. Kennedy and his fashionable wife.
Kim’s wife Ri Sol Ju is also considered capable of acting as the First Lady of the United States, the iconic Jackie Kennedy.
“I don’t think Kim’s wife has the ambition to be a true political player, but the elite respects her,” North Korean analyst Bruce Bechtol, a former member of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told the Post.
“She is really beautiful, I think she and her children will remain safe if something happens to Kim. They will not kill her, like killing Uncle Kim.”
They could get Ri Sol Ju out of North Korea, but that’s the best they can do. “
Photos released by North Korea’s KCNA news agency on March 28, 2018 show Kim Jong Un posing with his wife Ri Sol Ju during a visit to Beijing, China.

However, in addition to Kim Yo Jong and Ri Sol Ju, there is also Hyon Song Wol (43), who is older than Ri Sol Ju.
Hyon is said to be an old friend of Kim’s since his teens. There are even rumors that the woman was the last lover of the late father Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Il and also the mother of one of Kim’s children.
Some media report that the Kim and Hyon affair was stopped by Kim Jong Il, but then continued again after the great leader’s death in 2011.
Like Kim, Hyon was also rumored to have died due to the public execution of the firing squad due to unclear allegations related to pornographic content in his first video for the band in 2013.
However, like rumors of Kim’s death, news of the execution was exaggerated. He appeared publicly shortly thereafter and became Kim’s top assistant professionally and possibly personally.

Hyon took over the job Kim’s sister Kim Yo Jong once had called the “Event Director” in North Korea, which was to organize all the major public events where Kim appeared in public.
Both Hyon and Kim Yo Jong both participated as North Korean delegates to South Korea in 2018 before the 2018 Winter Olympics.
“Hyon is a strong woman,” said Jason Lee, a North Korean-born deserter who now lives in the United States and grew up as the son of a political elite in Pyongyang. He also has many friends who are related to Kim’s family.
“He (Hyon) really has more power than Ri Sol Ju (Kim’s wife) but still, he’s not as strong as Kim’s brother (Kim Yo Jong).”
Unlike Ri Sol Ju and Kim Yo Jong, for some reason, Hyon is rumored to lose a lot if Kim dies or loses his power.
“Kim loves his wife (Ri Sol Ju),” said Michael Madden, director and founder of NK Leadership Watch. An intelligence agency focused on North Korea for the Post.
“But Hyon clearly has a role on several levels,” said Madden. At least for now.
