Few political observers predicted Kim Jong-un’s daughter Ju-ae would be his likely successor when she made her first public appearance in November 2022. At the time, the elder Kim’s sister Yo-jong appeared to be a more likely heir apparent. But more than a year later, Ju-ae has become a constant presence at large-scale events, appearing at everything from missile launches to military parades. Her growing profile has forced the question: is Kim Ju-ae next in line to rule North Korea and become the reclusive state’s first female leader?

  • I have a feeling things might not end up too well for the little girl. Hopefully there isn't a horrible power struggle between her and her aunt.
  • @YourAnpanman
    His sister is giving that Azula vibes of the Fire Nation.
  • @j.z.5678
    His sister is definitely the brains of the whole operation.
  • @miamaru414
    I imagine that he has at least one son that is hidden from the media. Kim Ju-ae being paraded around is probably just a PR thing.
  • South Korea: invites Kim Yo-jong to Olympics Kim Yo-jong: “They are sloppy animals!”
  • @kenx9984
    Her aunt won't allow that to happen just watch and see according to some kdrama 😂
  • @t0lar
    The answer is, his son. The reason we don’t see his son might have something to do with the fact he could be studying abroad like he did when he was young.
  • Its adorable that he brings his daughter to work 😅 Yet he is a infamous, ruthless and evil leader.
  • @kpopfan165
    It's sad how this kid is being taught to be a cruel and heartless leader She may seem like an innocent child right now, but if she is to be the next leader, she will be raised to be like the rest of her family before her

    A lot of analysts thing Yo Jong would be WORSE than Jong Un. She's just as ruthless as her brother, but a lot SMARTER and a lot less self indulgent. John Un loves having absolute power, but he uses a lot of that power just to pamper himself and live a life of luxury at the cost of his nation. And it looks like his daughter may be the same (like her dad, she is clearly chubby and eating very well.) Yo Jong does not seem like that, she wants that power to use it aggressively, and is likely to be far more proactive and less intimidated by the Western powers. To paraphrase what Julius Caesar said about Cassius "She has a mean and hungry look, I do not trust her."
  • Are you serious, when the Sister was visiting S. Korea her SMILE did not reach her EYES. I could see her bitter and cruel emulating disposition shining through her. I wish that it wasn’t the case but it absolutely 💯 is.
  • At this point in time, she appears to be a sweet, innocent child. But again, most evil people in the world were once sweet, innocent children. Including her own dad (and aunt, I guess). Manufactured evil.
  • @pikapi4455
    Nah.. he's probably gonna pass it to his son, his daughter will just become his son's right hand, just like his sister
  • Real life Azula! Now we wait for Zuko to return from his exile to Disneyland.
  • I wonder if there will be a power struggle between her aunt and her. Notice they're never in the same place.
  • @soxpuff
    I assume he is aiming to achieve several things parading her around. Public acceptance, as he personally has her accompany him. If she is not training her to be THE leader, then to promotionally train her to be like her aunt to one of her brothers.

    Sometimes the “sweet and innocent” looking ones are the worst behind closed doors.
