"South Korea Identifies Kim Jong Un's Daughter as Probable North Korean Heir"

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has indicated that Kim Jong Un's preteen daughter, Kim Ju Ae, is being groomed as the likely successor to lead North Korea. This assessment is based on her recent public appearances alongside her father at significant events, which is a departure from the secretive state's tradition of not publicly involving leaders' children before adulthood. Despite Kim Jong Un's young age and no major health issues, his daughter's visibility has sparked speculation about the future leadership, although she lacks political achievements. The NIS's track record on North Korean matters is mixed, and the country's state media has not commented on any succession plans.
