Is Kim Yo-jong Being Snubbed By Her Brother?

Has Kim Yo-jong’s profile risen too much that her brother is trying to now reduce it or have intelligence analysts just been wrong about her status?:

 The demotion of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s powerful sister at an ongoing party congress is raising questions over whether it signals any change in her status in the top echelons of power.

During the sixth-day session of the party’s eighth congress in Pyongyang on Sunday, Kim Yo-jong, the leader’s younger sister, was not listed as a member nor as an alternate member of the party’s politburo, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

Her absence on the politburo list drew a sharp contrast with South Korean intelligence authorities’ assessment that the younger Kim is “the de facto No. 2 leader” steering overall state affairs. They earlier predicted that she would be elevated to a higher party rank in the party congress.
