Nowadays, in North Korea, Chairman Kim Jong-un is hard to see, and instead, Mrs. Kim Yeo-jung acts as the vanguard driving North-South relations into catastrophe. At the time of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics two years ago, while visiting the Blue House as the special envoy of Chairman Kim Jong-un, he served as a messenger of peace at the time, but now turned 180 degrees. In particular, North Korea said Kim Yeo-jung rejected our proposal to send an envoy. It is also evaluated that it is playing the role of a second factor in North Korean power.

North Korea said Kim Yeo-jung, the first vice-president, rejected the envoy's special envoy.


The envoy is sent by President Moon to the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, who was rejected by Kim Yeo-jung, not Kim Jong-un.

This suggests that the role of Kim Yeo-jung has risen to the level of acting as a proxy for Kim Jong-un.

The rise of Kim Yeo-jung's status can also be confirmed in the recent confrontation with South Korea.

He was reading the discourse of Kim Yeo-jung, who established me on the North Korean front, as if he were being taught by the best leaders.

It is also exerting a substantial influence on the military.

(Kim Yeo-jung) wrote an euphemistic expression of trying to hand over, but there was no command system like this. (In this regard, it is acting as a second factor.)

There are observations that Kim Yeo-jung is positioned as the successor of Kim Jong-un, but it seems unlikely that Kim Jong-un, now 36, is already preparing to transfer power to her sister.

Therefore, rather than seeing Kim Yeo-jung as a successor, it is observed that Kim is emerging as a substitute power in preparation for emergencies until a successor is prepared.

The role and phase change of Kim Yeo-jung seems to require more observation.
