“The Sister” with Sung-Yoon Lee | North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong, the Most Dangerous Woman in the World

November 15, 2023 – Author Sung-Yoon Lee introduces us to Kim Yo Jong, the sister and potential successor of North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and “the most dangerous woman in the world.” Lee’s book takes us inside the inner circle of North Korea’s mysterious family dynasty – and tells the story of the regime’s top policymaker and chief propagandist who ruthlessly insulted foreign leaders and threatened a nuclear weapons strike.

The Sister, written by Sung-Yoon Lee, a scholar of Korean and East Asian studies and a specialist on North Korea, is a fascinating, authoritative account of the mysterious world of North Korea and its ruling dynasty—a family whose lust for power entails the brutal repression of civilians, a missile program that can reach the continental US, and the constant threat of global havoc.
