South Korea’s spy agency believes that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is grooming his daughter, Kim Ju Ae, to be his successor. Ju Ae has been making public appearances since 2022 and has been seen expressing opinions on policies. If she attends the upcoming ruling Workers’ Party congress and receives a title, speculation about her succession path will increase. Very little is known about Ju Ae, including her age, but she has been seen at various events with her father. Kim is also reportedly overseeing the development of a large submarine capable of carrying ballistic missiles.
