North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been rumored to have executed another official, after four high-ranking officials and two pimps were shot dead for their involvement in a prostitution organization, and this Time, the number one person in charge of the security of Kim Jong-un’s Family was dismissed for accepting “sexual bribes” from a female major surnamed Kim, who was executed. In addition, Kim Jong-un ordered the Security Command to be split into four departments in order to check and balance each other.
According to a report in the Chosun Ilbo, the political commissar of the North Korean Security Command, Admiral Kim Sung-deok, was dismissed from his post after an investigation for accepting bribes and sexual favors from a female major surnamed Kim, who was in charge of the financial affairs of the command, and another commander, Yoon Jung-rim, was sent to a political prison.
According to the source, Kim Jong-un took the opportunity to split up the security command into four departments in order to check and balance the command and strengthen the security function, so as to achieve the purpose of mutual surveillance and control.
According to the report, the Guard Command is fully responsible for Kim Jong-un’s personal security and villa defense, and the “Bulletproof Guard Corps” that ran with Kim Jong-un’s car in suits at the 2018 inter-Korean talks in Panmunjom also belonged to the Guard Command. According to the report, Kim Jong-un was hit by a series of scandals in the organization responsible for maintaining his own safety and security, so he created three new police forces and significantly reduced the authority of the command.
In addition, some analysts say that Kim Jong-un’s comprehensive reorganization of the security system is due to uneasiness about his own safety, according to former top government defector, Kim Jong-un strengthened the maintenance of his own personal safety because he was worried that the successive defection of many elite people, including diplomats, would cause the collapse of the social structure of North Korea.
When Kim Jong-un attended the inter-Korean summit in April 2018, 12 bodyguards beside his car were also under the jurisdiction of the escort command.
