N. Korea Bolsters Kim’s son and sister
-On Tuesday September 28th, 2010, a series of military promotion was arranged.
Kim Jung-Un, the youngest son of Kim Jung Il, and Kim Kyong Hui, the sister of Kim Jung Il, were promoted to four-star general. Many experts view Kim Jung-Un’s promotion as Kim Jung Il’s preparation for abdicating the whole power to his son. Considering Kim Jung-Un’s young age and lack of experience in authority, Kim Kyong Hui emerged as a key leadership in North Korea. Experts presume that Kim Jung-Un will act as a protector of Kim Jung-Un and also as a dictator with all powers. Nobody knows an exact answer for the effect of Kim Jung-Un’s promotion, but many predicts noticeable exterior effects. Promotion of foreign ministers along with Kim Jung-Un and Kim Kyong Hui suggests this possible effect.
