A report yesterday in Yonhap about the ROK Ministry of Unification’s revised leadership charts and a report last week in Choson Ilbo seem to have generated increased interest in Kim Kyong-hui. Below are this blog’s substantive postings related to Ms. Kim and a few photographs. I will publish a comprehensive biography of her on this blog in early March.
“Look at Little Sister” (a general background on Ms. Kim)
“The Women Around Kim Jong-il” (Retread of the above posting)
“Kim Ok Out of Personal Secretariat…” (report that Ms. Kim replaced Kim Ok as KJI’s gatekeeper)
“Wouldn’t Be Ashamed. . .” (post on Ms. Kim’s January 2010 activities)
“Habemus Successor? Or Thaek it To the Limit?” (a succession post including Ms. Kim and Jang Song-thaek)
