Kim Jong-un, who was faced with economic difficulties due to international sanctions against North Korea, replaced the major Labor Party executives he had appointed in one month.
Kim Doo-il, head of the Party’s economic department, was dismissed after a month
Kim Jong-un-sik shock therapy, an example of poor economic planning
“High target is bluff, low target is Boshinism”
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who attended the second plenary session of the 8th Plenary Meeting of the North Korean Labor Party, held on the 8th and 11th, is speaking with a finger pointing at something or someone with a stiff expression. yunhap news
North Korean state media reported on the 11th that they had appointed Oh Soo-yong as the party’s head of the economy. Kim Doo-il, who was seated as the head of the economy on the 10th of last month, was stiff after 30 days. North Korean media also released a photo of the Workers’ Party plenary meeting on the 10th, showing a scene of Chairman Kim’s right arm, the party organizer Cho Yong-won, standing up and looking up at Kim Doo-il. Looking at the picture alone, it looks as if the organization secretary Cho Yong-won makes Kim Doo-il, head of the economy, stand up, and then blames for responsibility. Kim Doo-il was dismissed the day the photo was released.
North Korean experts interpreted it as’Kim Jong-un-style shock therapy’ in emergency management. Not only’one month hard’, but’one month’s plenary meeting’ is extremely unusual. Chairman Kim held a plenary meeting of the Labor Party last month and held another plenary meeting on the 8th and 11th of this month, a month later. This meeting, in which Kim Doo-il is standing, is another plenary meeting held in a month. At this plenary meeting, Chairman Kim said, “There is nothing much different about this year’s people’s economic plan prepared by the cabinet than before.” “The cabinet did not play a leading role, and the numbers drafted by the province (department) were mechanically synthesized. The plan was raised without the possibility of reality, and in some sectors, there was a bad idea of lowering the plan that must be done.”
On the 10th, on the third day of the 8th 2nd Plenary Meeting of the Labor Party, Cho Yong-won, the party’s organizational secretary at the podium, raised up Kim Doo-il, the head of the economy, to deal with it. On the 10th when this photo was released, Kim Doo-il was dismissed from the head of the economy. News 1
In other words, when the economic plan established after the Labor Party plenary meeting last month was unsatisfactory, the head of the economy was hardened. Lim Soo-ho, a senior research fellow at the National Security Strategy Research Institute, said, “Chairman Kim attempted to renew the atmosphere through a large-scale greeting last month. It’s big.” At this meeting, Chairman Kim pointed out that the agricultural sector, which set a high goal, was’bluff’, and conversely, the people in charge of the electric power sector who set a low goal as’voshinism’. North Korea invited local, factory and enterprise executives to attend the plenary meeting online. It is a discipline that if you fall short of’performance’ or set your goals unscrupulously, you will be criticized from the highest dignity.
Chairman Dan Kim was tolerant of the military field he was taking as a goal. It was the first plenary meeting held immediately after the inauguration of the US administration of Joe Biden, but North Korea did not disclose details about South Korea and foreign relations until the 14th. He only announced that he had promoted Foreign Minister Lee Seon-kwon from a candidate member of the Party Political Bureau to a member, and appointed Kim Seong-nam, head of the Party’s international party, known as China Tong, as a candidate member of the Political Bureau, to improve his career in the foreign field.
At this plenary meeting, there was no greeting from Vice President Kim Yeo-jeong. However, the intelligence authorities believe that he is not only overseeing relations with South Korea and the outside world, but also overseeing the entire party policy.
