[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Park Dae-ro = Kim Jong-un, the younger brother of the North Korean Labor Party’s general secretary, and the second North Korean leader, Kim Yeo-jeong, has been confirmed to have been demoted from the first vice-president of the Labor Party Central Committee to vice-president. After being eliminated as a candidate for the Political Bureau, the relegation was confirmed as the position was lowered. However, Kim Yeo-jeong posted his personal name in the North Korean media, implying that he was maintaining the general position of South Korea.
On the morning of the 13th, North Korea’s Chosun Central News Agency reported a discourse titled “The Discourse of Vice President Kim Yeo-jeong’s Party Central Committee”. It was announced that Kim Yeo-jeong, who was the first vice-president of the Party Central Committee, has been reduced to vice-president.
Kim Yeo-jung’s name did not appear in the list of members of the new party politics bureau and the list of candidates released on the 11th.

Initially, the South Korean intelligence authorities predicted that Kim Yeo-jeong would be promoted to a member of the Political Bureau candidate for the 8th Party Congress and solidify his position as the second leader in North Korea. North Korea overturned the expectations of our intelligence authorities through a greeting from the party conference.
Regarding the relegation of Kim Yeo-jung, the National Intelligence Service analyzed that there may be a conflict between his brother, Kim Jong-un.
On the 12th, the National Security Strategy Research Institute under the National Intelligence Service said in an analysis report on the organization and personnel of the 8th Labor Party Congress, “There is a possibility that Kim Jong-un’s being mentioned as the successor and second person may have been a burden for Kim Jong-un.” “We cannot rule out the possibility that the negative gaze or opposition of the executives and residents about the rise to a high-ranking position for the reason alone in mind.”

However, it is difficult to say that Kim Yeo-jeong was completely dismissed. At the end of the party congress, Kim Yeo-jeong implied that he was maintaining the general position of South Korea by giving a personal discourse. In his discourse, Yeo-Jung Kim continued to criticize South Korea by referring to the Korean military authorities as’bizarre tribes’ and’special nerds’ in a unique colloquial language.
In addition, it is interpreted that North Korea temporarily demoted Kim Yeo-jung to focus on the appointment of Kim Jong-un as general secretary and to solidify the one-man rule.
