Is Kim Jong-un totally in control? And what will Biden do about North Korea?

Hello and welcome to another episode of my podcast The Global Agora. My name is Andrej Matišák, and I work as the deputy head of foreign desk in Slovak daily Pravda. The White House confirmed that it completed its policy review on North Korea and said that it will use a calibrated approach towards Kim Jong-un's regime. But what does it mean for Joe Biden's presidency? And what kind of approach will Pyongyang use? I talked to Soo Kim about those issues. She is a policy analyst at the RAND Corporation. Her research interests include the Korean Peninsula, Indo-Pacific strategy, decision making, propaganda, and the intelligence community. She served as an analyst in the CIA. Does she think that Kim Jong-un is totally in control? And what about his sister Kim Yo-jong? Listen to our conversation.
