Kim Jong Un’s sister brands South Korea ‘scum’ and blames them for Covid
The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has branded South Korea “scum” after describing the country’s president as “simple” and telling him to “shut his mouth” after an offer of aid.
Kim Yo-jong, 34, was applauded by her brother Kim Jong Un for condemning North Korea’s neighbour country while accusing them of spreading the coronavirus.
