North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made headlines again as he announced the successful launch of a second cruise missile from a submarine within a week. This achievement has further accentuated his presence in the global arena, where he has often been surrounded by influential women from his inner circle.
Kim Jong-un, known for his erratic leadership style, personally oversaw the recent missile launch. His close aides and confidants, including his sister Kim Yo-jong, his wife, and his daughter, who is speculated to be his successor, have frequently accompanied him on such occasions. This display of strong female presence suggests a potentially changing landscape in North Korea under Kim's rule.
