Kim Yo-jong's appearance cast doubts on media speculation that she had been ordered by her brother to lay low over a failed nuclear summit with Washington.
North Korea's state media on Tuesday showed Kim Yo-jong clapping aside her brother, his wife and other top officials at Pyongyang's 150,000-seat May Day Stadium where thousands of gymnasts, dancers and crowds in the stands worked in precise unison to perform The Land of the People.
