She has been on the news as the vice-Minister and Chief of US Desk in the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The buzz is about who her real father is, and Choe Hyon’s name comes up. The elites are surprised to learn after all these years that Choe Hyon had a hidden daughter.

Choe Hyon (1907-1982) was a fellow commando of Kim I
There’s trouble in paradise. It is about North Korea’s Ryomyong New Town, Kim Jong-un’s pride and joy.

Liberty Korea Post sources in China reveal that—Per Kim Jong-un’s direction, the [NK] State Security Agency has requested that China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) provide wrist-type GPS devices for the purpose of monitoring the movements of North Korean officials and diplomats stationed overseas. The sources indicate that the Chinese authorities will grant that request. Recent defections by Thae Yong-ho (ex-Deputy Ambassador to England) and Jo Sung-kil (ex-Charge de Faire to Italy) have prompted North Korea to utilize the wrist type GPS device.

The latest buzz around the halls of the Party Central in Pyongyang, North Korea, has to do with Kim Jong-un’s on again-off again visit to Seoul, South Korea. Moon Jae-in of South Korea was determined to have Kim in Seoul before the year-end, sending Kim the message through the media that “The South Korean people will welcome him with open arms.” LKP correspondents in Pyongyang report that, because of the lack of progress in the talks with the US and South Korea, North Korea is headed toward a new strategy of shutting down all the dialogues for now.

People are engaging in violent acts including murder against live people. A source in HamKyungBukdo said, “More than 7
