North Korea: Mystery with Video showing Kim Yong’s Sister Un accompanied by two children

A rare one showing Kim Yong’s sister Un accompanied by two children who could be hers analysed by the South Korean Intelligence Agency, as stated today, Friday (03.01.25). In the North Korean state media video, Kim Yo Jung, one of the country’s most contested personalities, appear to be accompanied by two children, a girl and a girl, while going to attend the New Year events in North Korea. He even seems to hold hands with the little boy. CORVERSE Pyongyang’s isolated status has never transmitted information about Kim Yo Jung’s family situation. South Korean Intelligence said they’re trying to cross-reference if the children in the videos are hers. They said that in the past they had found evidence that Kim Yo Jung had had had children and that the two appearing in the videos are at an age consistent with this information. The South Korean Ministry of Unification told the French Agency that it is “unusual” no one sees his sister North Korean leader with children. Other images converted from the official North Korean media show Kim Yong Eun at the same event as his teenage daughter, known as Ju-e. NK News, a website specialized in North Korea based in Seoul, estimated that images could fit into a “propaganda in order to present a more human face of regime leaders”. “It also matches a tendency, since 2022, for key leaders and those in Kim Yong Eun’s narrow circle to participate in special events or to make donations with the escort of their spouses and family members,” according to the website. Kim Yo Jung is one of her brother’s closest representatives. Born in 1988 according to the South Korean government, she was with Kim Yong Eun one of the three children of Kim Yong Il, the former North Korean leader, who acquired with his third partner, dancer Ko Yong Hwi. She studied in Switzerland along with her brother and quickly rose to the scale of power since Kim Yong Eun took command of the country after their father died in 2011. In April 2015, the South Korean Intelligence Service had implied that Kim Yo Jung was to give birth the following month. And in 2018, the same services stated that Kim Yo Jung looked pregnant during her visit to South Korea in February of the same year for the Pyongchang winter Olympics.
