- 9 years ago
Intimate, colorful scenes out of North Korea.
State TV releases this video saying it was taken January first as its leader Kim Jong Un visits an orphanage in the capital Pyongyang.
It said he was accompanied by his sister Yo Jong.
That's her in the black coat.
She's reportedly married the son of one of the country's most powerful officials -- that's according to South Korean media on Friday, citing unnamed sources.
Last year, state TV reported that Yo Jong, who's about 27 or 28 years old, had assumed a senior position in North Korea's ruling Workers' Party.
She's the only other member of the ruling Kim family known to have an official job inside the government.
Although an official at South Korea's Unification Ministry said it could not confirm that report.
