| A photograph in North Korea’s state media appears to buttress speculation that leader Rumors that the 28-year-old is married have been flying around for some time, but who her husband is is not clear. On Friday, media reports quoted a North Korean source in Beijing as saying she married the son of de facto No. 2 Choe Ryong-hae, who is in turn the son of a partisan who fought against the Japanese during the 1910-45 occupation of Korea. He has two sons and a daughter. The second son is Choe Song, believed to be Kim Yeo-jong's husband, is in his early 30s. There is speculation that Choe senior was promoted to secretary of the Workers Party after stepping down as the head of the Army politburo thanks to his second son's marriage to Yeo-jong. The marriage would have given Choe a significant boost in his status. But a government official here said, "There is no confirmation of such rumors and the likelihood is very low." |
