Kim Yo Jong, sister to Kim Jong Un has been revealed as the most powerful woman in North Korea.
Kim Yo Jong
As North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has sought to raise his
international standing, a figure seen by his side almost constantly
during his meetings with world leaders is none other than his sister,
Kim Yo Jong.
During last year’s summit between the United States and North
Korea, Kim Yo Jong was front and center during the historic show of
diplomacy with President Donald Trump.
It looks like she’s playing a similar role again this year for a
second summit between Kim Jong Un and Trump in Hanoi, Vietnam. She was
even spotted on Tuesday holding a crystal ashtray as her brother took an
early morning smoke break.
It’s not the first time Kim Yo Jong has made headlines she traveled
to South Korea during the 2018 Winter Olympics in February, becoming
the first member of North Korea’s ruling family to visit the south since
the Korean War in the 1950s.
Like her brother, and much of the rest of their family, few details
are known about Kim Yo Jong and the life she lived before reaching a
prime leadership role in the North Korean government.
Here’s what we know about her so far:
Like many of Kim’s family members, Kim Yo Jong’s exact age is difficult to pin down. But she’s believed to be between 29 and 31.
She’s the youngest child of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his consort Ko Yong Hui, a former dancer.
She was partly educated in Switzerland, at the same school Kim Jong
Un attended. But she returned to North Korea in 2000 after completing
the US equivalent of the sixth grade.
Kim Yo Jong appeared destined for a powerful career from a young
age. Kim Jong Il once bragged to foreign interlocutors in 2002 that his
youngest daughter was interested in politics and eager to work in North
Korea’s government.
It’s completely unclear where she was or what she was up to between 2000 and 2007.
In the following years, she conducted a lot of behind-the-scenes
work for her father, Kim Jong Il, and brother, Kim Jong Un. She played a
particularly significant role in helping Kim Jong Un take over instead
of his older brothers.
