ABC News Online: North Korea: Kim Jong-un's sister Kim Yo-jong is regime's rising star
Kim Yo-jong, the youngest sister of North Korea's supreme leader, helped establish the hereditary succession campaign before the death of her father, manages the party's propaganda machine and is considered one of Kim Jong-un's closest aides.
She has now been promoted to North Korea's top decision-making body following a move by her brother.
