Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, is a vice department director in the Central Committee of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), a Korean Central News Agency report confirmed Thursday.
Accompanying Kim Jong Un on a visit to the Korean April 26 Cartoon Film Studio in Pyongyang, Kim Yo Jong was referred to for the first time by North Korean state-controlled media as being a vice (or deputy) department director within the party. Previously, she was simply referred to as an ambiguous “senior official” of the WPK Central Committee.
