Kim: “South Korea should discipline itself if it wants to stave off disaster.”
Kim: “As long as the South Korean military revealed its intent to seek provocative incentive of serious level and escalate a showdown with the DPRK, I will give a serious warning upon authorization.”
Kim: “The senseless and scum-like guy dare mention a ‘preemptive strike’ at a nuclear weapons state.”
Kim: “South Korea may face a serious threat owing to the reckless remarks made by its defense minister.”
Kim: “We will not fire even a single bullet or shell toward South Korea.”
Kim: “This opinion comes not from an obvious contrast with a nuclear weapons state in the light of military capabilities but from the fact that the north and the south of Korea are of the same nation who should not fight against each other.”
38North: "As Kim Jong Un began to assume power, his relationship with Kim Yo Jong revealed apparent similarities to the bond their late father shared with his own sister, Kim Kyong Hui. In the Daily NK report, a Japanese source with ties to the DPRK’s leadership said that Kim Yo Jong helped to consolidate power into Kim Jong Un’s hands. The source added that their aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, performed the same feat for Kim Jong Il during their family’s first dynastic succession. Like her aunt before her, Kim Yo Jong enjoys direct and fairly unfettered access to the supreme leader, as well as full briefings on the country’s current affairs, policies and future plans."
38North: "In July 2013, sources in North Korea and a number of ROK media outlets claimed that Kim Yo Jong had joined Kim Jong Un’s Personal Secretariat to manage scheduling, logistics and security for her brother’s on-site visits, military field inspections and other public appearances."
CNN: "She is believed to be one of her brother's most powerful and trusted confidantes."
CNN: "Last week, Kim Yo Jong demanded the South make 'the correct choice' if it genuinely wants reconciliation and development in inter-Korean relations, including another summit. She also warned the US and South Korea to stop their "hostile" policy against North Korea, before discussions can resume on a proposal by the South Korean President to declare an end to the war between the North and South."
Britannica: "She was responsible for managing her brother’s schedule, and the two remained close while Kim Jong-Un ruthlessly disposed of any potential obstacles to his rule."
Britannica: "The so-called 'Olympic détente' marked a radical shift in tone in the ongoing nuclear standoff on the Korean peninsula, and Kim Yo-Jong was seen as an unusual 'soft power' tool for a country that was historically known for jingoistic sabre-rattling."
Britannica: "After the Moon government protested North Korean military drills, North Korean state media issued the first public comment directly attributed to Kim Yo-Jong, and its tone was belligerent. She compared South Korea to a 'frightened dog barking,' a taunt that echoed earlier statements about critics of the Kim regime, and both the message and its timing were interpreted by some as an attempt to demonstrate the stability and continuity of the Kim family."
