Reports that Kim Jong Un has chosen his teenage daughter as successor raise new questions about the future of power in North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun, where the bodies of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il are enshrined, alongside the new party leadership following the conclusion of the 9th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

SEOUL, Feb. 27 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has used the latest party congress as an occasion for consolidating his base for a long-term grip on power, effectively declaring the start of his own era, Seoul's unification ministry said Friday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was unanimously reappointed as general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea during the fourth-day session of the Ninth Party Congress, North Korean state media reported Monday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un focused on internal messages in his concluding speech at the Workers’ Party’s 9th Congress, emphasizing strengthened ideological control over party officials and residents without delivering any notable external messages.

Days and Nights of Confrontation’, which depicts a plot to kill Kim Jong-il, was released for the first time on state television last month.
