Kim Jong-Un's Sister Takes Control In North Korea -- Tae-jun Kang, The Diplomat
According to a new report by a Seoul think tank, Kim Jong-un’s younger sister is in charge during his absence.
Kim Yo-jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, might be leading the hermit kingdom instead of her brother, a recent report from Seoul-based think tank, North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity (NKIS) revealed.
According to NKIS on October 1, Kim Jong-un — who has failed to appear at official events since early September — is getting medical treatment at Bonghwa Clinic from both domestic and foreign medical teams. Meanwhile, in his absence, Kim Yo-jong is charged with handling important government decisions.
An unnamed source told NKIS that a decision to give Kim Jong-un extended medical treatment was made at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea on September 6. The meeting was reportedly held at Kim Yo-jong’s suggestion.

My Comment: This is what we know about her. She is the younger sister. She only appears in pictures that involve a major event (death of her father, Party elections, Party Congress, etc.). ... and she is always a few steps away from her brother North Korean leader Kim Jung-Un. The older men who assist Kim Jung-Un appear to always defer to her (at least in the pictures and in videos). She is ... and this is important .... the coordinator of North Korea's intelligence services. From where I stand .... I am willing to bet that she is probably the only person that Kim Jung-Un completely trusts.
