DPRK appoints new top military officer

Hwang Pyong So has been appointed the top political officer of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s military, the official KCNA news agency said Friday.

Hwang made his official appearance as the director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, considered the second most powerful military position in the DPRK, at an banquet celebrating May Day on Thursday.

Hwang was promoted to a vice marshal on April 26.

The military's former top political officer, Choe Ryong Hae, has not been seen in public recently, and the KCNA did not say why Choe was replaced.
