(2) Jang Sung-taek [behind Jong-un]: brother-in-law of Kim Jong-il, may have taken on de facto leadership over North Korea. Currently Vice-Chairman of the National Defence Commission, a position considered second only to that of the Supreme Leader. Despite Kim Jong-Il's plans, it was not immediately clear after his death whether Jong-un would in fact take full power, and what his exact role in a new government would be. Some analysts had predicted that when Kim Jong-il died, Jang Sung-taek would act as regent, as Jong-un is too inexperienced to immediately lead the country.
(3) Ri Yong-ho [on the other side of the car, at the front]: Chief of General Staff of the Korea People's Army.
Note: Kim Yong-nam is probably no.4, the President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of North Korea, the de facto head of state.
