Kim Yo-jong, Kim Jong Un's younger sister has disappeared from the public view eye.
One expert told South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo that the sister may be staying out of the public eye to quell rumours that her brother has handed over some power to her.
Kim Yo-jong was last seen in public over a month ago, spotted next to the North Korean leader as he was at an event marking the 67th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War, Chosun Ilbo reported.

This comes not long after it was revealed by South Korean spies that she would now serve as her brothers "de facto second-in-command".
