N. Korea leader's daughter seen as heir over her siblings: Seoul
SEOUL (Kyodo) -- South Korea's spy agency has said that even if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter has an older brother, she would be the one
According to South Korea's spy agency, the daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is seen as the heir to her father's position, even if she has an older sibling. The National Intelligence Service asserts that Kim Ju Ae, the presumptive successor, may also have a younger brother or sister. Ju Ae has been frequently seen alongside her father during official engagements, although details about her, such as her birth date or any siblings, remain unknown.
Unconfirmed information from South Korea suggests she may have an older brother, but the credibility of these claims is unverified. Despite the agency's stance, skepticism persists among South Korean analysts about the likelihood of a woman ascending to the North's leadership role, as most of the country's elite are men.
