North Korean leader Kim Jong-un dismissed Vice Premier Yang Sung-ho on the spot during an inauguration ceremony at the Ryongsong Machine Complex on January 19 due to irresponsibility in modernizing the facility. This rare public sacking appears aimed at tightening discipline among economic officials ahead of a key party congress. The project stems from Kim's 2021 plan to advance the machine-building industry.
