Mystery over new woman in Kim Jong-un’s inner circle

Woman has been pictured at North Korean leader's side in recent months, often carrying a handbag

Often spotted in an understated suit dress, glasses, and carrying a black handbag, there's a new character in the inner circle of Kim Jong-un in nuclear-armed North Korea. But her identity, for now, remains a mystery.

She was at Kim's side last week during a massive outdoor concert and was also seen carrying folders at a speech to the country's parliament, the Supreme People's Assembly, in which Kim vowed never to give up nuclear weapons.
