This year, however, she has kept a low profile, emerging only to attend a performance for the<br \/>anniversary of the birth of Kim Jong Il on February 16<sup>th<\/sup>. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Kim Jong Il was known to have at least four partners during his lifetime [Song Hye Rim, Kim Young<br \/>Sook, Ko Young Hee and Kim Ok], although not one ever accompanied him in public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The decision to have Ri Sol Ju appear arm-in-arm with Kim Jong Eun was largely a strategic one; partly to deflect attention away from his young age, and partly to assure the public of internal stability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Disappointingly for the regime, rumors slamming Ri Sol Ju as a \u201ccheap performer\u201d have done little to aid its efforts to idolize her husband. Indeed, the recent arrival of Kim Yo Jong has led some experts to surmise that Ri Sol Ju&#8217;s days in the limelight are numbered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">One former high-ranking North Korean defector explained to Daily<br \/>NK, \u201cIf Ri Sol Ju continues to be seen in public in such a high position, the people may hold to their negative assumption that the<br \/>Marshal [Kim Jong Eun] is too caught up in trivialities.\u00a0<br \/>Unlike Ri Sol Ju who comes from a low performance background, Kim Yo<br \/>Jong is easy to idolize as she comes from the Baekdu bloodline.\u00a0 Ri\u2019s role is likely to lessen as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cIf Kim Yo Jong is already involved with the Party it\u2019s likely she currently holds a role at the Propaganda and Agitation Department.\u00a0 Ri Sol Ju was active in the Unhasu Orchestra,<br \/>so she is more likely to stick to a role in the arts,\u201d the defector assessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information on this secretive family, check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/english\/kim-jong-un-family-wife-daughter-children-sister-mother-everything-we-need-to-know\/\">comprehensive article on the Kim family.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debate continues over the likely political role awaiting Kim YoJong [alternate spelling: Kim YeoJung] after her first public appearance at the Supreme People\u2019sAssembly elections on the 9th.
