Organization and Guidance Department
There are those, most prominently the defector Jang Jin-sung, who currently argue that the leaders of the OGD are the real leaders of North Korea, and that Kim Jong-un is a puppet. He argues that Hwang Pyong-so, the First Deputy Head of the OGD, through his post as Director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, was the real ruler of the country because (Jang believes) he controlled the appointments and dismissals of military officers. He concluded that Kim Jong-un would remain a puppet as long as Kim Jong-il's old proteges still controlled the OGD. Michael Madden of the North Korea Leadership Watch disagrees, claiming instead that the OGD implements the directives of the Supreme Leader, and is not powerful enough to introduce directives itself. In October 2017 the WPK central committee appointed Kim Jong Un's trusted aide Choe Ryong Hae as director.
