WNU editor: Kim Pyong-il was made a North Korean ambassador in his twenties, and was deliberately put to pasture for almost forty years in Europe. Bottom line. He has no power base in North Korea. He has been out of the picture for almost 40 years, and I am willing to bet that he is under some sort of "house arrest" right now in North Korea. So why the speculation that he may succeed North Korean leader Kin Jong-un. I have no answer to that. But what I find interesting about the above video are the few shots of Kim Jung-un's sister Kim Yo-Jong that shows how important she is. In the first one she is with a security official (with the ear-piece) that I have seen a few times before with either her or Kim Jong-un. Because of his age and being slightly overweight I am willing to bet that he is one of the top officers responsible for the family's security. The second one is where she is walking in a hallway. In the background the bodyguard's focus is completely on her.
