The Rise of North Korea’s Most Powerful Woman
Could North Korea’s next ruler be a woman? North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, has an increasingly prominent role in the communist regime and some observers believe she is his natural successor. The Kim family has transformed the so-called Hermit Kingdom into a dynasty that operates like a royal family.
