Notably, the youngest of the seven siblings, Kim Jo Yong is known as the most powerful woman in North Korea. She first came into the limelight during the funeral for her father Kim Jong Il in 2011. Since then, she has taken on many state responsibilities, including rumours of being the face behind modelling her big brother’s public image.
In fact, even her latest statement was designed to further solidify her brother’s leadership to run the country.
