Meanwhile, Kim Yong Chol, the head of the North’s United Front Department that looks over inter-Korean relations, was ordered to carry out “revolutionary reeducation”, Seoul’s Unification Ministry spokesman Jeong Joon Hee said.

The MoU also said Kim Yong Chol, and a director of the United Front Department in charge of the North- South relations, were now undergoing ideological education. Jeong also corroborated the report of the purge of Kim Yong Chol, who headed up North Korean spying operations on the South.
While Americans sit around debating whether black people are being “oppressed” in the United States whenever black criminals with guns bum-rush a cop end up getting shot, the leader of North Korea is busy slaughtering his own military officials simply because he was bored on a Tuesday.
In July previous year, South Korean officials said Kim had executed about 70 officials since taking power in late 2011.
He added that Kim Yong Chol was also punished for his overbearing demeanour.
On top of this unfortunate situation for North Korea citizens, the reign of terror of party officials who have been executed under Kim Jong-Un’s rule has been reported to be at more than 100 officials.
One of them was Kim Yong-Chol, a top official in charge of inter-Korean affairs.
Ri Yong Jin, a senior official at the education ministry, was sentenced to death after he fell asleep in a meeting being addressed by Kim.
Meanwhile, a vice department director of the ruling party’s central committee, 62-year-old Choe Hwi, has been receiving reeducation in a rural area since May for “mishandling of the party’s work on agitation and propaganda”, according to the official.
“Two other senior officials were sent for ‘revolutionary re-education” for a month, Seoul says.
Ri Yong-Jin, a senior official at the education department, and Hwang Min, the country’s agricultural minister, were executed, the South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported citing a source with knowledge of North Korea, according to Sky News. Kim disappeared from public eye for about 50 days before the North’s state media on Sunday mentioned his name in a list of officials who attended ceremonies marking the Youth Day.
Furthermore, Mr. Kim has the blame for sinking a South Korean warship in 2010, near the disputed border with North Korea, in the Yellow Sea.

However North Korean state media confirmed the 2013 execution of Kim’s uncle, Jang Song Thaek, widely considered the country’s second most powerful man, for factionalism and crimes damaging to the economy.
