The sister of North Korea's leader, Kim Yo-jung, appeared remarkably on the political front this year, and some leaks indicated that she had assumed major tasks in the isolated communist country, but the sister had mysteriously disappeared, recently.

According to the South Korean newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, the sister of the leader, Kim Jong Un, has not been seen in public for nearly a month, which is not unusual.

Last week, South Korea's National Intelligence Service notified the Parliament's Intelligence Committee that Kim had instructed some of his powers to his influential sister.

Kim's sister was last seen on the 27th of last July, and appeared at the time with the leader during a military meeting marking the 67th anniversary of the halt of the Korean War.

But Kim Yo Jong has appeared a lot since last March, when she launched an anti-South Korean propaganda campaign by sending propaganda leaflets towards the North.

The escalation continued until North Korea bombed and destroyed the liaison office with South Korea, last June.

And on Wednesday, North Korea's official news agency reported, that the leader discussed the storm that befell the country, and a day earlier, he discussed the Corona outbreak at a meeting of the Workers' Political Bureau.

Most of the Labor Party leaders participated in the meeting, but the leader's sister did not attend, despite being a candidate for membership in the Politburo.

On a previous occasion, the leader's sister was seen at a meeting of the Politburo, and seemed to be busy writing points about what her brother was saying during the meeting.

However, this absence is subject to several interpretations, as there are those who believe that the leader's sister fears that the regular appearance will determine the nature of its role in the system, while North Korea is keen on a high degree of secrecy.

Korea University researcher and academic, Nam Song-wook, explains that the norm in North Korea is that the official is stripped of his position as soon as others notice that he has become the "number 2" within the political system.

He added that North Korea is keen on this process of balance and review of matters, even if the matter is related to the leader's sister. Close family and politically.

On Wednesday, the American "CNN" reported that the absence of the leader's sister is unusual, but it is also possible that it is caused by ordinary causes such as illness or preoccupation with spending other things.
