Every rumour of Kim Jong Un’s poor health sparks rabid speculation that his sister will succeed him. But being the Supreme Leader’s sibling is tricky. We explain why
Lest the title of “deputy” director deceive, it should be said that Kims take orders from no one. Almost as soon as she joined the department, which her father once ran, reports emerged that Ms Kim was its de facto head. A stream of especially foul invective followed. State media called Michael Kirby, who had led the’s inquiry into North Korean human-rights violations, “a disgusting old lecher” .
in Pyeongchang confirmed her status as a trusted emissary of the kingdom. When Kim Jong Un met both Moon Jae-in, then South Korea’s president, and Donald Trump, then America’s president, several times between 2018 and 2019, Ms Kim usually accompanied him. In 2020 she issued a statement in her own name for the first time.
What is next for Ms Kim remains unclear. Every rumour of Kim Jong Un’s poor health sparks rabid speculation that. But being the Supreme Leader’s sibling is tricky, especially since he has children to inherit the throne. Some siblings of North Korea’s leaders have had decorated careers. Others have fallen victim to purges. Despite her unique position, Ms Kim has one thing in common with all North Koreans: so long as Kim Jong Un lives, her life and fortunes are in his hands.
