WNU Editor: As I have mentioned before, Kim Yo Jong is always her brother's shadow. She is also (in my book) the second most powerful person in North Korea. If you want to meet Kim Jong-un, you will have to go through her. She is also always on the sidelines looking at everyone. I am willing to bet that after every meeting where she is there .... and she is always there for the important meetings .... she tells her brother later on how the people in the room were reacting to his remarks and comments.
