Kim Song-hye

Kim Song-hye (, Described as "very smart", she is possibly a graduate of Kim Il Sung University, although "her accurate academic background has yet to be known". a front organization of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) for handling inter-Korean affairs and the reunification question. She also has a post in the party's Propaganda and Agitation Department. Her position is equivalent to that of South Korea's Minister of Unification.

Kim was part of the North's delegation negotiating the June 15th North–South Joint Declaration at the 2000 inter-Korean summit. In total, Kim has visited the South Korean capital Seoul more than 10 times. Kim was also present at the 16th installment of the ministerial talks held in Pyongyang. Likewise, she interacted with the South Korean delegation at the 2007 inter-Korean summit there.

It is rare for a North Korean female to work in the field of inter-Korean relations. Consequentially, Kim has been given the nickname "female hard worker for South Korean affairs". During the North–South Ministerial Talks in 2005 for instance, she attracted media attention by standing out from the conservatively dressed mostly male delegation with her white two-piece suit. When the South Korean Minister of Unification Chung Dong-young introduced her, he noted that respecting women is a feature of Korean culture. During the 2013 meeting she was noted for wearing a turquoise suit similar to that worn by Ri Sol-ju, the wife of Kim Jong Un when she was introduced to the public as North Korea's First Lady. Kim also wore high heels, which has been interpreted as adopting a Western fashion at the cost of comfort.

In 2018, she accompanied Kim Yo Jong as a member of the North Korean delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She also took part in meetings ahead of the 2018 North Korea–United States summit with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Donald Trump. She was also part of the delegation to the summit itself.
