Meet Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's Sister--And Possible Successor In North Korea

[Baclava]

While she rocketed to international attention during the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Yo Jong (like many in her family) is a somewhat mysterious figure, with basic details like her exact age (somewhere in her early thirties), unconfirmed by the North Korean regime.

A favorite of her late father Kim Jong Il, she attended school in Switzerland, The Washington Post reports, where she took ballet lessons before returning to North Korea in the early 2000s.

Nicknamed the “Ivanka Trump of North Korea,” Kim Yo Jong said last month that President Trump and her brother had “special and firm personal relations,” despite the ongoing conflict around the latter’s nuclear weapons, an arsenal the rising leader seems eager to protect.

Kim Yo-jong likens South Korea to ‘frightened dog barking’ after Seoul protested against Pyongyang’s live-fire military drill

1. Well she is much easier on the eyes I guess nt

[Baclava]

3. She looks like 'Dragon Lady' in pic from that second article I posted, lol

[doc03]

4. She sure does nt

[Silent3]

2. But has she had the requisite training in pointing at things?

Her hand is in an almost-pointing position in the pic you posted, but she's not quite there yet.

7. LOL

[Brother Buzz]

9. I'd be more concerned about her requisite training on the....

ZPU-4 anti-aircraft gun

15. Took A Blink To See That Wasn't A Foosball Table, Sir

And now I am curious what it actually is....

20. It's a machine that forms metal roof panels.

[The Magistrate]

22. Thank You, Sir

Interesting to see how that is done.

[maxrandb]

24. I think Kim sent one of his uncles through one of those n/t

18. Military Foosball.

When you lose it crushes your hand.

[Yavin4]

23. Ever notice that the bigger the military hats, the bigger assholes the military is. n/t

5. I can't help it every time I see one of those Korean names I think of the

character in Sixteen Candles "Long Duk Dong".

[uppityperson]

11. Is this necessary? Making fun of names like this?

[doc03]

14. I am racist because I mentioned a charactor in a

movie 40 years ago. You have nothing better to worry about. I am concerned about getting COVID 19 and Trump being responsible for over 55000 unnecessary deaths.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. This makes you sound racist.

[doc03]

16. If I am racist why in the hell did I vote for

Obama twice? If there was a person of Korean origin that ran for president I would have no problem voting for them.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. If you brag about voting for Obama why do you think it's okay to repeat racist jokes about Asian

names?

[doc03]

19. You never heard people joke about their own

ethnicity before. We have lots of comedians that have made a career doing that.

6. "special and firm personal relations,"

8. I was rooting for

Dennis Rodman to take the throne.

10. I predict she may be the last of the Kim dynasty

The hardliners in positions of power may not appreciate taking orders from a woman.

[Baclava]

12. NK has been a highly patriarchal society, but she still has that dynasty thing going for her

One family has ruled there since the start. I think she works as propaganda minister or something,

[Snake Plissken]

21. Every time a new leader takes over in a dictatorship they have gruesomely kill a few random people

to let everyone know who is in charge and unconditional loyalty is not optional, but required, I don't expect her transition to be any different

I remember the so called experts were excited about Kim Jong-un taking over because he was Western educated ... he didn't turn out any better than his father.

[ironflange]

25. A snappy dresser

Just like her big brother.

26. Well, she seems nice.
