Kim Jong Un's Daughter, Kim Ju-ae, Identified as Likely Successor

South Korean Intelligence Points to Potential Historic Shift in North Korea's Leadership

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has identified Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju-ae, as the likely successor to her father's leadership in North Korea.
Kim Ju-ae, believed to be around 10 years old, has been seen accompanying her father at major public events, including long-range missile tests and military parades.
State media has referred to her as a 'most beloved' or 'respected' child of Kim, and has shown high-ranking officials kneeling before her.
Kim Jong Un is still young and has no known major health issues, and it is known that he has at least one other child.
North Korea has been successively ruled by male members of the Kim family since its foundation in 1948, making Kim Ju-ae's potential succession a significant departure from tradition.
