South Korea’s Ministry of Unification said today that the chances of North Korean military’s top political officer Choe Ryong Hae being purged are low, even though he has stepped down.
MOU spokesperson Kim Eui-do told reporters at a briefing today that seeing as with other figures such as Ri Yong Ho or Jang Song Thaek, there was an accompanying DPRK news report about the change, but since there was no official announcement about Choe, the likelihood of a purge is low.
