In this April 14, 2018, photo provided by the North Korean government, Ri Sol Ju, center, wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, talks with Song Tao, left, head of the ruling Communist Party's International Department, in Pyongyang, North Korea. Six years into his reign, Kim Jong Un appears to be putting the spotlight on the women in his life. Over the past few months, Kim has increasingly shared the stage with his younger sister Kim Yo Jong, who became an instant celebrity as his envoy to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and his wife Ri Sol Ju, a former singer in her late 20s. Independent journalists were not given access to cover the event depicted in this image distributed by the North Korean government.
