The keywords that penetrate North Korea’s new party leadership, which was elected (appointed) on the occasion of the 8th Labor Party Congress, are’generational change’ and’recession of the North American and South Korean lines’. Cho Yong-won, who has been selected as the most aide of the State Council Chairman Kim Jong-un and the party’s general secretary, has rapidly risen to the 5th place in the ranks of power through high-speed promotion. On the other hand, Choi Sun-hee, who was at the forefront of the North American negotiations, was relegated to the Central Committee candidate, and vice chairman Kim Young-cheol of the “Gang Kyung-pa” returned to the South Korean policy and was pushed out as the head of the unification front, not as a secretary of the same level.
Kim Jong-un’s most performing, Cho Yong-won, ranks’vertical rise’
On the 11th, the Labor Newspaper, the North Korean Labor Party’s agency, delivered the contents of the 6th meeting of the party meeting held the day before, and reported that Cho Yong-won, the first vice-president of the party’s organizational leadership, was appointed as a member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee and the Party Central Military Committee. Cho Yong-won, along with Chairman Kim, Choi Ryong-hae, Lee Byeong-cheol, and Kim Deok-hoon, rose to the top of the ranks of 5th place in the ranks as he was named as the standing committee of the Political Bureau, the core of North Korean power. Park Bong-ju (born in 1939), vice chairman of the party (born in 1939), who is an economic leader and the oldest member of the Political Bureau, is evaluating that the trend of generational change within the leadership has become clear.
Yong-won Cho, along with the first vice-president of the Party, Kim Yeo-jeong, has been regarded as a “two-top” real life since the early days of Kim’s reign. This is because the overwhelming number of times he practiced face-to-face with Chairman Kim. He received the’Kim Il-sung’s Medal’ in April 2012, just after the Kim Jong-un regime was launched, and in recent years he followed Kim’s wherever he went and practiced like a shadow. During the 2018 Pyongyang Inter-Korean Summit, as well as the Singapore-North Korea Summit and the following year’s Hanoi-North Korea Summit, Chairman Kim took every step of the way. Even during this party conference, it was spotted sitting next to Chairman Kim with his knees bent and reporting closely.

Blame the poor performance? Location of weakened Daenam and Daenam lines
With the resurgence of the secretariat, the party’s vice-chairman, who had 10 members, was reduced or reorganized to a system of 7 secretaries, and Yongwon Cho was also the first to be called as the secretary in charge of the organization. He was promoted to two levels from the first vice president of the organizational leadership. On the other hand, Kim Young-cheol, who oversees negotiations with the United States and South Korea, was not elected as a secretary until it was stiff due to the failure of the Hanoi-North Korea summit in 2019, and only took the position of head of the Unification Front. This is because the position of secretary in charge of diplomacy and South Korea, which has been proud of its high status, has disappeared.
The construction of the line to the US was maintained, but its position was weakened. In this election, Foreign Minister Lee Seon-kwon remained a candidate for the political bureau, but was called last, and the First Minister of Foreign Affairs Choi Sun-hee went down from a member of the Central Committee to the candidate. It seems to be a reprimand for the negotiated results of last year’s North American negotiations. There is also a prospect that Chairman Kim will focus on internal affairs rather than diplomacy or inter-Korean relations that are difficult to find breakthrough for the time being.
Members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the North Korean Labor Party Central Committee, members of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee, and candidate members of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee were announced, the Chosun Central News Agency reported on the 11th.

‘North Korean version of gold spoon’ oil-jeong advances… Kim Jae-ryong to the head of the organization
In addition, the “North Korean version of the gold spoon” was chosen as the head of the military government leadership that reorganized the Party’s military department. Oh Jin-woo, the father of Yoo-jung, is from the anti-Japanese partisan mountain, and has been the head of the People’s Armed Forces Department for nearly 20 years in the power of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. As the revised Party Code emphasized the Party’s control over the military, it is observed that the military leadership will be empowered in the future. Jae-ryong Kim, who retired from the post of Cabinet Prime Minister in August last year, took the position of head of organizational leadership. The organizational leadership is in charge of the key people in the party and is the core department that has the right to censor the senior executives.
