Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, has notably never publicly mentioned his mother, Ko Yong-hui, despite his long tenure in power since he was 15 years old. This absence of acknowledgment has deepened the mysteries surrounding his personal life and the dynamics of the North Korean regime. Analysts suggest that this silence may be connected to the controversial aspects of her heritage, which could complicate the regime’s emphasis on "bloodline purity" associated with its leadership.
The discussion around Ko Yong-hui raises questions about the regime's carefully maintained propaganda regarding the Kim family lineage. Some reports highlight that acknowledging her publicly could undermine the established narrative of the Kim dynasty's legitimacy and provoke significant societal backlash within North Korea. Consequently, Kim Jong-un’s decision to avoid all references to his mother may serve as a strategic move to protect the ideological foundations of his rule and prevent any potential challenges to his authority.
