Why Kim Jong Un never talks about his mother - or her controversial bloodline

Kim Jong Un rarely mentions his mother, Ko Yong Hui, due to her potentially controversial background. Her origin could pose a threat to the North Korean regime's legitimacy, which is why very few North Koreans are aware of her existence. Ko Yong Hui's past is shrouded in mystery, and the regime's secrecy surrounding her is likely an attempt to maintain control and stability. As a result, she remains a relatively unknown figure in North Korea.
