Seoul's spy agency has revealed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, may have a younger sibling, offering a clearer picture of the ruling family's lineage. The agency's National Intelligence Service (NIS) stated that Kim Ju Ae, introduced to the public in 2022 while accompanying her father to a missile launch, is reportedly being groomed as the successor.
The agency confirmed that Kim Ju Ae has a younger sibling of an unknown gender but believes that any older sibling, if present, cannot assume the succession. Since 2022, Kim Ju Ae has been seen at significant political events with her father, including a visit to Beijing. North Korean state media have consistently referred to her as "the beloved child" and a "great person of guidance," terms typically reserved for top leaders and their designated successors.
