Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the woman considered the most powerful woman in the country, may have been kicked out of North Korea's high-profile ruling politburo, NK News reported, suggesting a fall from favor.
Kim Yo Jong was not listed as an alternate member of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) politburo - the party's top decision-making body - and did not appear at any high-profile events during a important party gathering last week, NK News reported, citing state media.
The circumstances of her apparent ejection from the politburo are not clear.
