Kim Yo Jong is one of her brother's most trusted advisers and among the most powerful women in the isolated regime, but her public profile is mounting rapidly and she has been mooted as a potential successor.

Cult of personality redux. The NK version set up by Stalin and reinforced by Mao. (Speaking of cults of personality)

How have cults of personalities ever worked out for the 99%. How are they working out today.

Another haunting picture of her.

Those dead eyes are the window to an absent soul.

Kim Jong Un wanted peace. There was no reason for him to blow up a liaison office to South Korea that was on his side of the border. I have a hunch that was someone else's decision. And who would that be? His sister, Kim Yo Jong.

Kim Yo Jong is shaping up to be a more ruthless leader than her brother. If she ever replaces Kim Jong Un, heaven help the stability of the Asian region. Chairman Xi and Putin will have a hard time keeping this Dragon Lady under control.

I can see this DPRK Dragon Lady swallowing the ROK Moon in the near future.

Moon the Appeaser doesn't stand a chance against her.

Someone has to do something with this woman before it is too late.

it is not known whether she is married.

Who the hell wants to marry someone like her???

"Who the hell wants to marry someone like her???"

If you win her affections you could be the proud parent of a Kim Yo Jong Jr.

Not to mention the benefits of hanging' with your bro in law Kim Jong Un.

I think she’s kind of hot... in an evil Bond villain kind of way!

It’s not a very good picture, is it? She looks like the Queen of Mean.

She looks scary. If she is being built up as the successor of her brother, things could get dicey.

> It’s not a very good picture, is it?

She has a coquettish, come-hither look in her eyes that is heightened by her flirtatious pose and the gauzy filter used on the image.

Like Kim Jong Un she is overflowing with charisma. Clearly they are both blessed with the superior DNA of the Paektu bloodline

She looks like a skeleton.

Scares me. Looks like the kind of woman that would spend a pleasant evening with a guy, and then methodically slash his privates off while he sleeps. Even if I didn't know who she was, I would give her wide berth.

I wasn't paying much attention before, but I start to understand.

Why is the conversation about a woman wanting to blow up the world changes to her looks and some of commentators sexual fantasies ?!

 Im pretty sure there are plenty of other pics of her in better light & with a smile but that wouldnt fit the narrative

"I gave an instruction to the arms of the department in charge of the affairs with enemy to decisively carry out the next action,...."

It's unsettling to imagine such monstrous warlike thinking behind a pretty face and demure smile. But that's how some women in power use it to their advantage to the detriment to the unsuspecting and trusting man.

Kim's recent illness is a sign of weakness in the hermit kingdom. He can no longer claim to be a god on Earth like his father and grandfather before claimed. HIs sister looks as mentally twisted as he is. I would not want to be married to her. She now sees her opportunity to take power and is acting.

This is no different than the Saudi patriarch handing over power to his son, the crowned prince. No soon after , the prince began imprisoning and killing anyone he perceived as a threat to his rein while showing power to the people.

The ice woman cometh...and she’s pretty darn scary.

Wondering if they might be playing good cop / bad cop. I hope so. Otherwise it's just bad cop.

If ya could perform being scared to death doing anything wrong in bed that could lead to your demise

Thats what I thought too. I don´t think she would hesitate one second to have you offed if you don´t perform to specifications. Maybe it appeals to some thril seeker.
