Seoul trying to confirm details of N.K. reshuffle amid report on Kim's sister
January 22, 2020
SEOUL, Jan. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is working to verify the details of a recent personnel reshuffle in North Korea's ruling Worker's Party, the unification ministry said Wednesday, amid a media report that leader Kim Jong-un's sister has been dismissed as a member of the party's powerful politburo.
On Tuesday, a local news outlet said Kim Yo-jong was relieved of her post as an alternate member of the Workers' Party politburo during last month's plenum, citing a report by Seoul's spy agency submitted to the parliament's intelligence committee.
Pyongyang's state media said North Korea discussed an "organizational matter" during the four-day session, but it did not disclose details.

Over there, one can not be sure what these things mean and though, one wouldn't want to assume the worse, those things do happen as with Kim's half-brother.
