No. “In power” is a pretty relative term. By North Korea own admission there were times when secret services of the nation did whatever they wanted without input from their leader.
From what we know about the current Kim, he was an introvert ten years ago when he went to school in Switzerland. Current power structures in North Korea are very opaque.
