Overview

• North Korean state media referred to Ju Ae, Kim Jong Un's daughter, with a leadership honorific, suggesting she's being groomed for succession.
• Seoul's Unification Ministry has not ruled out the possibility of Ju Ae succeeding Kim Jong Un as North Korea's leader.
• Ju Ae's public appearances alongside her father at key events have increased, including military drills and a greenhouse complex visit.
• Analysts believe this marks the first time Pyongyang has used such an honorific for someone other than a top leader or their successor.
• If Ju Ae ascends to leadership, it would be the third hereditary transition in North Korea's history.
