Kim Yo Jong

For all intents and purposes, Kim Jong Un is the DPRK. Such a system won't survive a leadership transition at this juncture.

After an activist launched leaflets to the North last week, Pyongyang immediately responded with harsh warnings.

After Pyongyang's resumed missile testing, Seoul and Washington are having difficulties finding a way to resume dialogue.

Kim Yo Jong issued a warning statement ahead of a U.S.-South Korea 2+2, in Pyongyang’s first direct comment to the Biden administration.

During the Eighth Party Congress, Kim vowed to enhance the country’s missile programs and nuclear power – a worrying sign for diplomacy with the U.S. and South Korea.

North Korea continues to be hypersensitive about its handling of the pandemic.

The report has led to a wave of rumors – Kim in a coma? – and accusations – Seoul trying to “distract” the public from its own missteps.

How did the two Koreas go from summitry and diplomacy in 2018 to high tensions in 2020?

Tensions between the two Koreas have spiked right before a major inter-Korean diplomatic anniversary.

The statement emphasized that even as Trump-Kim relations remain positive, U.S.-North Korea relations do not.

Kim Jong-un may be ready to assert his own unique leadership style.
