Seoul Spy Agency Says Kim Jong Un's Daughter to Be His Successor

Описание: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s teenage daughter appears to have entered a phase of being designated as his successor, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service told lawmakers, offering Seoul’s clearest assessment yet that a fourth generation of the Kim family dynasty is in the making.

In a closed-door briefing to parliament, the NIS said the girl — often referred to as Ju Ae by South Korean officials — has increasingly assumed a symbolic and political role consistent with succession training. The agency cited her repeated public appearances at key military events and her prominent positioning alongside her father during on-site inspections.

“In the past, Kim Ju Ae was described as being ‘in successor training,’ but notably today the NIS used the term ‘stage of being designated as successor,’” lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun, who attended the briefing, told reporters Thursday.
