Pudgy's Lil Sister Runs Propaganda Department
2014-12-11
North Korean leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un's sister Yeo-jong is a vice director of the Workers Party's Propaganda and Agitation Department, a source said Wednesday.

The state media reported on Nov. 27 that Kim Yeo-jong is a vice director in the party's Central Committee but did not specify her duties, sparking a frenzy of speculation among North Korea watchers.

Former leader Kim Jong-il held the same job on his way to power, overseeing the personality cult surrounding nation founder Kim Il-sung. At present, Kim Ki-nam (85) is the director of the department, but Kim Yeo-jong apparently handles day-to-day affairs.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-un's aunt and widow of executed eminence grise Jang Song-taek is apparently deteriorating resting at a summer home in North Pyongyang Province. Kim Kyong-hui has not been seen in public since September last year, leading to speculation that she has also been killed purged, killed committed suicide or killed been sent off to a nursing home abroad.
