Might be something lost in the translation:

Kim Jong-un’s former pop star lover has increasingly been seen at the dictator’s side - fuelling speculation that she has usurped his sister in the eyes of the supreme leader.

Hyon Song-wol, 43, who is the lead singer of all-women group Moranbong Band, has frequently accompanied Kim, 36, on official trips and a military parade this month.

The singer - who enjoyed chart success with hits including Excellent Horse-Like Lady, I Love Pyongyang and She is a Discharged Soldier - appears to have taken on duties previously performed by the leader’s younger sister, Kim Yo-jong.
