Kim Ju Ae: If a family has ruled a nation for three generations, they will undoubtedly want to keep up the tradition and ensure that power transfers to other family members in the years to come.
Following suit, it appears that Kim Jong Un, the president of North Korea, has already chosen the country’s next leader.
By avoiding replicating his father’s mistakes, Kim Jong-un is attempting to be a responsible leader. To maintain power within his family, he is making preparations for a future heir to the throne.
The likely identity of North Korea’s new leader has been revealed; no, it is not Kim’s sister. It’s actually his daughter. The fourth iteration of Pyongyang’s dynasty might take a completely different direction.
A girl between the ages of ten and twelve has emerged as a new and peculiar political celebrity in North Korea.
The Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile had a test launch from Pyongyang’s Sunan International Airport on November 18. In this event, Kim entered the stage with his daughter Kim Ju Ae for the first time since taking office as president of Korea.

The appearance of a pre-teen girl at the ceremony, rather than the fact that another ICBM was launched, drew the attention of onlookers. She made an appearance alongside Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea, and Lee Sol-ju, his wife. Kim Ju Ae is the second child of North Korea’s ruling couple.
Kim Ju Ae made her first public appearance at this time, and since then, her appearance have grown. Kim Ju Ae made six public appearances between the end of November and the end of February, which had never happened previously.
Due to this reason many have made the assumption that Kim Jong-un has chosen the girl to be his successor, which isn’t too far-fetched given his progressive views on gender equality. Women are frequently appointed to top posts by Kim Jong-un.

It seems a little ridiculous that Kim would be proposing to an heir who isn’t even a teenager. Although Kim Jong-un was expected to spend some time “training,” going on excursions with his father, attending meetings, and learning the theory of authoritarian control in action, it is likely that his daughter is receiving the same instruction. Kim Jong-un appears interested in succession planning at a young age; after all, he is only 39 years old.
All of this demonstrates how big of a plan Kim has for her daughter. The main issue here is whether Kim Yo Jong, Kim’s sister, will have any voice in the matter or not.
