Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakahoutia te tūranga i raro i a Kim Jong-un i te Paenga-whawha o te tau 2018 i te wa i whakaarahia ai a Ri Sol-ju, i marena i te tau 2009, ki te "Whakaute Tuatahi Wahine". Kaore i whakamahia te kupu mai i te 1974, i te wa i whakaahuahia ai a Kim Song-ae. I karangahia a Ri i mua ko "te hoa" e te hunga pāpāho a te kawanatanga; i puta te whakatairanga i mua i te kaupapa.
Paenga-whāwhā 2018 hui-Korean i reira Ri me te wahine tuatahi o Korea ki te Tonga, Kim Jung-sook, i tae atu.
