Kim Yo Jong, experts believe her rising profile is part of a carefully choreographed publicity campaign by North Korean state media to signal that she's being groomed for something. Though there are other members of the Kim family still alive, Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un and their father and grandfather are the only ones lionized in North Korean media as members of what the country calls the "Paektu bloodline," a reference to the mythical mountain on North Korea's border with China. The fact that she's a Kim trumps the powerful patriarchal forces at play in North Korea.
Will Kim Jong Un's sister become the first female ruler of North Korea, or will her brother see her as a threat to his power, and make her vanish as others have?

@mchill saidIf she was a threat she would have vanished long ago.

I have a feeling that being a woman, she's probably perceived as less of a threat by her brother, and easier to control.
