A new internal threat is challenging the power of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. According to a research report of the South Korean Parliament, the head of North Korean Parliament, Cho Ryong He, is creating an unofficial powerful network, which is shaking the country's political system from within.

Whenever North Korea is mentioned, the world's eyes are fixed on its supreme leader Kim Jong Un. And sometimes also on his powerful sister Kim Yo-Jong. But is the Kim dynasty really the real key to power in North Korea? A recent shocking report has shaken this belief.
Research conducted by the South Korean parliament has claimed that another person is quietly building an empire of power in the shadow of Kim Jong Un. This person's name is Cho Ryong.
This person is a threat to Kim's chairCho Ryong Hae, the head of North Korea's parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, is no longer just a name. According to the report, he has built such an effective network within the country that it is not only influencing decisions but is also challenging the traditional center of power.
Cho, who is considered close to the Kim family, became the director of the Organization and Guidance Department (OGD) in 2017 and since then he has been considered the most powerful person after Kim. According to the report, people close to Cho have reached important positions in the party, army and government.
Senior army officers Ri Yong Gil, No Kwang Chol and Kim Soo Gil are Cho's old associates and now hold top positions in the army. Cabinet leaders like Premier Pak Thae Song have also emerged thanks to Cho's network.
Kim's sister is also not in the raceThe report says that this growing power is disturbing the necessary balance within the Supreme Leader system. Kim's sister Kim Yo Jong, who earlier gave tough competition to Cho, has now stepped down from all formal posts. Some reports claim that Kim Yo Jong is married to Cho's son, although this has not been officially confirmed. Old power player Jo Yong Won has also tried to strengthen himself through dual posts, but his shine has faded in front of Cho's dominance.
This is a warning bell for KimInterestingly, since 2017, there has been a decrease in the punishment or 'purge' of senior officials by Kim Jong Un, experts believe that Kim is now relying on Cho's power to run the regime. But experts warn that this imbalance within power can also become a danger signal for North Korea in the future.
