  "account": "Seoul's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has revealed that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, is believed to have a younger sibling. This information sheds light on the structure of the ruling family and indicates that the Kim dynasty, which has ruled North Korea for decades, may continue to expand its ranks. Kim Ju Ae, introduced to the public in 2022, has been accompanying her father at numerous high-profile events, including a visit to Beijing, since then. The NIS also stated that they are still investigating whether Kim Ju Ae has an older brother, but believe that even if he does, he is not eligible to succeed him. In official rhetoric, Kim Ju Ae is referred to as the \"beloved child\" and a \"great person of guidance,\" a title typically reserved for top leaders and their successors.",
  "summary": "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.",
