"North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, in order to overcome the national crisis, could expand Yo-jong’s status and role as the ’party center,’" the National Assembly Research Service said in a report released on Wednesday.
「北韓的金正恩為了度過國家危機，可能擴大（胞妹）金與正作為（朝鮮勞動黨）『黨核心』的地位和角色」，南韓「國會立法調查處」在週三發布的一份報告中說。
"Party center" is a term that was used for both Jong-un and his father Kim Jong-il when they were recognized as the official successors of the country.
「黨核心」係用於金正恩與其父金正日被承認為該國正式接班人時的一個專有名詞。
The think tank assessed that the 32-year-old Yo-jong’s reappointment as an alternate member of the ruling Workers’ Party’s top policymaking body will strengthen the political foothold of the Baekdu bloodline.
該智庫評估，32歲的金與正再次獲任命為執政的勞動黨最高決策機構（中央委員會政治局）之候補委員，將強化其「白頭」血統的政治立足點。
