North Korea has recently launched multiple cruise missiles into the waters off the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korean reports. This marks the third such incident in less than a week, raising concerns about regional tensions. Images from the launches have shown North Korean leader Kim Jong-un surrounded by women from his inner circle, highlighting a potential shift in the country's political landscape.
In an emotional appeal, Kim Jong-un was seen wiping away tears as he urged mothers to have more children in order to address the country's plummeting birth rate. This move suggests a possible deviation from the traditional patriarchy that has long persisted in North Korea. Kim has been actively involving powerful women in his administration, with figures such as Foreign Minister Choi Song-hee and his younger sister Kim Yo-jong taking on prominent roles.
