WNU Editor: In my opinion she is already the second most powerful person in North Korea. She is currently serving as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's personal assistant and senior adviser, and being appointed to this military position only cements her growing role. I would also not be surprised if in ten years she will be running the internal security apparatus of the country. Why is she important? She is being positioned to step forward in the event that if something happens to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the next decade or two, she will be positioned to ensure the continuation of the Kim dynasty in North Korea.
