Media: Kim Jong Uno’s sister is missing

And then the posting of photos of the young leader began again. Images surfaced last week of Kim Jong Uno’s meetings with government officials and inspections of crops devastated by the typhoon. And then new speeches began to spread, where Kim Jong Un’s sister may have disappeared, writes news.com.au.

For a minute, she remained the future leader waiting her turn, and now she disappears like in water. They have not been seen at any of the major events in North Korea recently known to the West.

According to experts, it is possible that Ms. Kim, as a contender for the Pyongyang throne, made a serious mistake. And now it will pay dearly. After all, it was the only obvious choice that could be in command of the North Korean government.

According to a North Korean observer, the future for Kim Jong Un’s sister is bleak. There are two possible options: either she will become the country’s top leader, or she will lose all power and “maybe even life.”

Evaluating any information that comes out of North Korea is very difficult because it is practically impossible to verify its authenticity. But even if the photos of Kim Jong Un looking at the damage caused by Typhoon Bavi were taken recently, there is no doubt that the leader began to appear much less frequently in public.

Kim Jong Un may not be on the brink of death, but observers agree that the leader is certainly not in the best of shape right now. A North Korean leader who is overweight and smokes heavily, in addition to these harmful habits, is at risk: his family has had diabetes and heart disease. So it wouldn’t be too surprising of a fact if you gladly missed some not-so-important meetings or events.

In August it was announced that the South Korean State Intelligence Service had obtained information that Kim Jong Un had transferred some of his powers “due to excessive stress load” to his sister. According to intelligence, when Ms. Kim became president of the influential Central Committee of the Workers’ Party, she effectively became “the second most influential man in the country.”

Without a doubt, Kim Jong Uno’s sister star has risen extremely high. She was one of the top North Korean officials who organized the 2018 Seoul Winter Olympics in 2018. More recently, she has publicly criticized the United States and has also become the person responsible for the destruction of the South Korean office on the territory. North Korean, which was seen as a symbol of the warming of bilateral relations.

The Korean newspaper The Chosun Ilbo even went so far as to call him “extremely aggressive.”

In recent years, he has actively participated in high-level government meetings and has always been close to Kim Jong Uno during international summits. It is very curious why, after talking about becoming the new head of North Korea, she reached the top and fell.

Kim Yo Jong was last seen in public on July 27. She no longer appeared in the political office on August 13, did not attend the cabinet meeting, reports NK News.

Kim Jong Un and many high-ranking government officials in the photos that came to the West from Pyongyang last week. Only the sisters did not see each other.

The mistake made by Kim Yo Jong became too hungry for the eyes. And then there started to be a lot of speculation about his future ambitions. Although he did not utter the words “the second most influential person in the country”, the fact is that the fact that he dared to mention it in public, in a sense, dug a hole in him.

“In the past, everyone who dared to mention their position as ‘the second most influential person in the country’ lost them, if they had one. Although Kim Yo Jong is a member of the family, he has the same rules, ”says Nam Sung Wook, professor at Korea University at The Chosun Ilbo.

However, it may be, says the professor, that she has decided to leave the public eye so her brother can return to the limelight.

Fyodor Tertitsky, a North Korean expert at Kookmin University in Seoul, says there have been cases in the Kim family of a brother or sister very close to the leader, but that doesn’t mean their careers reach the top. Be that as it may, since the position of head of state does not fall from the hands of the Kim family, Kim Yo Jong could replace his brother with relative ease.

If not, Kim Yo Jong should be very careful. For a new leader, his presence can be very unpleasant, the BBC explained to F. Tertitsky.

“Kim Yo Jong’s situation will be quite simple, unless only Kim Jong Uno is replaced by another member of the Kim family. Then, either she will become the highest leader in the country, or she will lose any power and maybe even the life, ”says F. Tertitsky.

Kim Pyo Il can challenge the inside of the Kim Yo Jong family. The 65-year-old is the son of Kim Il Sungo, the founder of North Korea. His fate was such that his career as a diplomat in Europe left him without much influence in Pyongyang.

Leonid Petrov, professor of Korean studies at Australian State University, told news.com.au last week that if Kim Jong Un can no longer rule the country, the country’s top military and party leaders will step in rather than deliver power to Kim Yo Jong, who even North Korean standards are described as “too cruel.”

“They have lived in fear for too long, they don’t need another despot to introduce new rules of survival,” he said.

And this could mean that the aforementioned leader in North Korea could be the aforementioned Kim Pyong Il or Kim’s little-known younger brother. If such a scenario were to materialize, real power would lie, for example, with Choe Ryong Hae, whose official role is still often compared to that of a head of state. The South Korean news agency Yonhap recently named him, not Kim Yo Jong, “the leader of North Korea no. two “.

And the biggest threat to Kim Yo Jong is Kim Jong Uno’s decade-old son. Even if he becomes leader in the country, probably only temporarily.

Yoo Ho Yeol, a professor of North Korean studies at the University of Korea, told the Canada National Post in April that Kim Yo Jong’s role would be “at best, just regents.”

“We can speak not only of an exclusively male leadership, but also of not forgetting that the people of the country will undoubtedly oppose the female leader,” emphasizes the expert.

Kim Yo Jong will be in great danger if a small member of the Kim dynasty sees a threat and decides to get rid of it.

There is another no less dangerous theory of Kim Yo Jong. Her creators reason: perhaps her brother has given her so many important powers that, in case of failure, he can turn her into a scapegoat. If that happens, they can even wait for death.

North Korean experts are closely watching when and how (of course, if that happens) Kim Yo Jong will reappear in public. F. Tertitsky, however, doubts the career prospects of Kim Jong Uno’s sister.

“When and if Kim Jong Un begins to announce his sister, we will know immediately. There will be no room for any speculation, everything will be very clear at the same time,” says the expert.

And so far, the best expert advice for someone who wants to become the new leader of North Korea is not to give up wanting to become the new leader of North Korea. Otherwise, serious problems await.
