The approximately 10-year-old daughter of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un will likely succeed her father in the dictatorship.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Service announced Thursday that Kim Ju Ae is forecast as the dictator’s very likely heir apparent, according to all available data collected.
“Based on analyses on her public activities and the level of the North’s respect toward her since her public appearance, Kim Ju-ae appears to be the most likely successor,” said National Intelligence Service official Cho Tae-yong in a report to the South Korean parliament, according to Yonhap News Agency.
The NIS is leaving open a variety of possibilities for succession, given that Kim Jong Un is believed to have at least one other child who has not been seen by the public.
Ju Ae made her first public appearance in November 2022, accompanying her father and mother, Ri Sol Ju, to an intercontinental ballistic missile launch.
Since then, Ju Ae has been photographed extensively alongside her father attending parades, dining with the top brass and touring military facilities.
