North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has delegated some of his power to younger sister Kim Yo-jong ‘to ease stress’.

The news has been announced today.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) says Kim Jong Un will still “exert absolute power” but he will gradually transferred his authority to his younger sibling, Yna.co.kr reports.

The NIS said: “Although Chairman Kim still exerts absolute power, he has gradually transferred his authority compared to the past, and it is not the decision of the successor or the rule of the successor.”

It added that Pak Pong-ju, vice chairman of the State Affairs Commission, and the new premier Kim Tok-hun have taken over power in controlling the economic sector.
