SEOUL, South Korea – North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was reappointed as president of state affairs, state media KCNA reported on Monday, March 23, after the first session of the Supreme People’s Assembly convened a day earlier.

The Pyongyang meeting will discuss amendments and supplements to the socialist constitution, as well as the election of the chairman of the State Affairs Commission and other state leadership bodies.

The assembly, North Korea‘s rubber-stamp legislature that formally approves state policy, usually meets after a ruling Workers’ Party Congress to turn party decisions into law.

The session will also review the country’s economic five-year plan announced at the ninth party congress in February, KCNA said.

Attention has centered on whether Pyongyang will revise its constitution to formalize Kim Jong-un’s “two hostile states” policy toward South Korea.

In recent years, Kim has abandoned the long-standing goal of peaceful reunification, redefining the South as a hostile state.

Kim’s powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, was notably absent from KCNA’s list of members of the State Affairs Commission, the country’s top leadership body, on which she had served since 2021.

South Korea‘s Unification Ministry said it was investigating why she was no longer listed, but analysts said the move did not necessarily signal a loss of influence.

“Her absence suggests not a decline in status but a strategic division of roles,” said Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University, adding that the younger Kim continues to wield real power as a department director in the ruling Workers’ Party, where she may play a higher-level, party-centered role coordinating policy. – Rappler.com

Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground?

For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one.

EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time.
