News about Kim Yo-Jong

Incheon airport - one of the world's largest and busiest international transport hubs that serves the South Korean capital Seoul - was forced to halt all flights for roughly three hours as investigators descended on the tarmac to inspect the balloons. North Korea has in the past three days sent hundreds of balloons carrying bags of trash, and in some cases human faeces, soaring into South Korea in a retaliatory move for Seoul's ongoing efforts to distribute propaganda leaflets across the border. Both territories have engaged in a spiralling tit-for-tat propaganda war in recent weeks as their relations dip to new lows. Less than an hour after Incheon airport was reopened, Seoul was placed on alert after a new North Korean missile launch was detected.

After being greeted warmly with a handshake and a hug by the pariah state's dynastic dictator Kim Jong Un, a huge motorcade ferried the Russian President to Pyongyang's main square where thousands upon thousands of adoring citizens were eagerly awaiting his arrival. The crowds erupted into cheers and let loose a torrent of bright coloured balloons at the sight of the Kremlin chief, who stood beside his host and took in the rapturous applause before they made their way through Kim Il Sung Square along a huge red carpet. The pair were saluted by a string of military guards atop snow-white horses before making their way past a gaggle of children clutching balloons and waving frantically at the smirking autocrats. Other revellers were seen touting huge portraits of the Russian President standing beside the Russian flag - the colours of which adorned the facades of buildings around the square. The ceremony also gave Kim a chance to introduce Putin to a host of key figures in his Politburo, including Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui; top aide and ruling party secretary Jo Yong Won; and his powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, who besides her role as chief propagandist has in recent months become a fiery-tongued mouthpiece of the regime. After touring the square, Kim and Putin then travelled together to Pyongyang's Kumsusan State Guest House, North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency said, for their first talks together on North Korean soil.

On Saturday, North Korea's state media referred to the girl, who is expected to be between ten and twelve years old, as a "great person of guidance" a term that is usually reserved only for top leaders and their successors. Analysts said this was the first time Kim's daughter - never named by Pyongyang but identified as Ju Ae by South Korean intelligence - had been identified as such by the North. Ju Ae, who often appears next to her father at major public events (pictured), has reignited rumors that she might have been chosen as the next head of the nuclear-armed North for a third hereditary lineage. Ju Ae was seen wearing binoculars to watch recent paratroop drills, standing beside her father and senior military figures in a picture published by Pyongyang on Saturday. It was then believed that Kim Yo Jong (inset), the Supreme Leader's eldest sister, was being lined up to replace him as the fourth generation of leaders under the Kim Dynasty. However, the hawkish propaganda chief has made fewer public appearances since then, lowering her notoriety.

According to a survey that confirmed the gift, it was not disclosed what kind of car Putin gave the North Korean dictator or how it was delivered. However, observers said it could be in breach of a United Nations resolution that has banned the export of luxury items to North Korea in an attempt to pressure the country to abandon its nuclear program. Kim Yo Jong's sister and another North Korean official accepted the gift on Sunday and told her brother's thanks to Putin, according to the Korean Central News Agency.

On Sunday, the tyrant and his 'heir apparent' were seen around Kwangchon Chicken Farm, donning white coats as they inspected rows of caged hens and their trademark black jackets as they examined the produce outside. They may have been commemorating what seems to be his 40th birthday, which is expected to take place on January 8, but his espionage hasn't announced the date. Kim Ju Ae, who is expected to be ten years old and the middle of Kim's three children, is regularly referred to as Kim's'most beloved' child by North Korean state media, and has been a fixture of state propaganda since she first appeared in just over a year ago. The father and daughter were seen kissing one another on the cheek as they marked the New Year in Pyongyang's packed stadium before touring a missile launcher factory in matching leather jackets last week.

Kim Yo-jong, the youngest son of North Korea's second Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il, was photographed with other DPRK officials at Vostochny Cosmodrome in Moscow today.

Kim Yo-jong, North Korea's second Supreme Leader Kim Jong Il, was photographed with other DPRK officials at Vostochny Cosmodrome in Moscow after they traveled with Kim by train from Pyongyang. Yo-jong, the country's top-ranking politician and diplomat, is serving as the Deputy Department Director of the Workers' Party of Korea's Publicity and Information Department, or WPK. However, several analysts have suggested that Kim, the country's current supreme leader and WPK general secretary, could be a potential replacement for Kim. She has played a lead in assisting her brother's summits in the past, but has only appeared on the periphery.

She walks at least three paces behind her baby-faced brother and keep out of photograph, though she looks so pale and fragile that a strong wind might knock her down. In fact, she is a kinder and more thanpreciative sibling of North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, a delicate soul who can't hurt a fly. She was seen shyly peering out from behind a wall when her brother attended a historic summit in 2019. Observers found it almost adorable. And yet, those who have judged Kim Yo-jong on appearances could be making a fatal mistake, according to a ground-breaking and unveiling new book. Kim Jong-Il's youngest child, who is believed to be 35, is actually a brutal political tyrant who has some advice to replace her brother and identify him as the most able of his offspring.

In the face of increasing threats from nuclear-armed Pyongyang, which has conducted a series of weapons tests (left and right) in recent months, the US and South Korea have intensified defense cooperation. North Korea has reported that its nuclear weapons and missile programs are for self-defense, and has vowed to protest US-South Korea military exercises, referring to them as preparations for a war. In the event that such military response against our tests of strategic weapons transpires, it will be seen as a strong declaration of war against the DPRK,' Kim Yo Jong (inset) said in a tweet, using North Korea's official name. 'The Pacific Ocean does not belong to the dominium of the United States or Japan.' North Korea's foreign ministry accused the US of 'intentionally' raising tensions in a separate statement on Tuesday.

North Korea tested two ballistic missiles on Monday, its second weapons drill in 48 hours, according to Pyongyang, which was a preparation for a missile launcher capable of a complete strike. Pyongyang had already tested one of its most reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) on Saturday and warned that more was coming, with leader Kim Jong Un's influential sister referring to the Pacific as the North's 'firing range'. The launches came as Seoul and Washington look to expand their cooperation in the region in the face of increasing threats from Pyongyang. Following Saturday's launch, the allies conducted joint air drills, angering North Korea, which sees military exercises in its backyard as preparations for invasion. According to North Korea's state media outlet, the missile drill involved'multi-launchers, the offensive nuclear war means,' and that the missiles could'reduced to ashes the enemy's operational airfield.' Pyongyang was closely monitoring the moves to deploy more US strategic assets in the region, according to Kim Yo Jong, who promised 'corresponding countermeasures' if required.

Kim Yo Jong, right, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Ung Un's left, has warned the US to cease all military operations in the area. Following this weekend's joint air drills between the United States and its Asian allies, she warned that her country could turn the Pacific into a 'firing range.' North Korea launched two more ballistic missiles off its east coast on Monday, the country's third known weapons drill this year. On Saturday, center stage, a Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is launched at Pyongyang International Airport in Pyongyang, North Korea. On Sunday, center-bottom, US B-1B bombers flying with South Korean jets.

North Korea tested two short-range ballistic missiles on Monday morning, just two days after resuming missile testing. The two launches were detected from a western coastal town just north of Pyongyang, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. South Korea has increased surveillance and is coordinating with the United States to ensure any necessary response, according to the chiefs. Notably, Japan's coast guard sent an alert about possible ballistic missile launches by North Korea.

The drills, which took place near the Korean Peninsula, came after Jong, North Korea's most influential sister, dismissed concerns about her country's military and threatened a full-range intercontinental ballistic missile drill. When dismissing outside reports that cast doubt on North Korea's spy satellite development and long-range missiles, Yo-jong, the younger sister of North Korea's Supreme Leader, used a slew of disparaging terms, including "dog barking," "rubbish" and "malicious disparaging." According to South Korea's Defense Ministry, the deployment of US B-52 bombers and the F-22 stealth fighter as part of an agreement to shield South Korea with all available weapons, including nuclear. F-35 and F-15 fighter jets from South Korea were also involved in the drills off the coast southwest of Jeju island's waters.

On Saturday, the North Korean emperor appeared to announce his daughter to the world. The child accompanied her father in the testing of an intercontinent ballistic missile. She may have seen in public in September, but it was never confirmed. According to the intelligence service, Ju Ae is expected to be the leader's second child. The age, name, or other specifics of North Korea's state media have not been revealed. The tyrant is thought to have three children with his wife Ri Sol-ju, but the first heir - who was born in 2010, - is a boy. Following the birth of their son, the family had a baby girl in 2013 and another in 2017.

In many photographs released by the pariah state's official media company KCNA, the unidentified woman (main next to Kim, highlighted right) was photographed standing near to the North Korean dictator (left, inset), mainly wearing a plain dark suit and clutching a handbag. The true identity of the 'assistant' is uncertain, but North Korean defectors and NKNews, a US-based group dedicated to reporting and researching the isolated country, have speculated that she may be a Kim Jong-un's half-sister who was born in the 1970s. North Korean defectors and South Korea's Ministry of Unification insist the dictator has a 48-year-old half-sister named Kim Sol-song, who would almost likely be involved in his regime.

The joint war exercises, known as the "Ulchi Freedom Shield," will continue in South Korea through September 1st. The drills, which involve aircraft, warships, tanks (pictured) and potentially tens of thousands of troops, will continue through September 1st. Although Washington and Seoul refer to their exercises as defensive, North Korea sees them as invasion rehearsals and has used them to defend its nuclear weapons and missile construction. Pyongyang has pushed its weapons testing activity to a new high this year, while also threatening tensions with the South and the US in the midst of a continuing diplomatic stalemate.

President Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea had put forward a'audacious' relief program in exchange for the North's withdrawal from its nuclear program.
