North Korean leader’s daughter believed to have younger sibling
Seoul's spy agency has previously said Kim Jong Un is believed to have three children, but there has been uncertainty about their order of birth.
Seoul's intelligence agency has divulged that North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un's daughter may have another sibling, though the gender of this younger relative remains undisclosed.
Kim Ju Ae, Kim Jong Un's daughter, has been publicly recognized since 2022 as the potential successor to her father's leadership. She has been seen alongside her father at significant political events, including a notable visit to Beijing.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) of South Korea has stated that Kim Ju Ae is being prepared for the role of successor, though uncertainty persists regarding the birth order of her three known children. The agency believes that even if an older brother exists, he is not positioned to assume the successor role.
Kim Ju Ae is often referred to as "the beloved child" and a "great person of guidance" by North Korean state media, terms typically reserved for the top leaders and their designated successors.
