North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s influential sister Kim Yo Jong appears to have recently received a promotion, South Korea’s spy agency reported on Tuesday.

Kim, who serves as first vice director of the DPRK ruling party’s Propaganda and Agitation Department (PAD), “appears to have been elevated” in position, a South Korean lawmaker said following a meeting with the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

Speaking at a briefing with local media in a statement carried by Yonhap News Agency, head of the National Assembly’s Intelligence Committee Lee Hye-hoon said the intelligence service believes Kim’s “authority seems to be enhanced due to the adjustment of roles.”
