Kim Jong Un Appointed His 13‑Year‑Old Daughter to a Leadership Position in the Military
According to reports from South Korean media citing government sources, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appointed his 13‑year‑old daughter to a leadership position in the Missile Forces Bureau — a structure that oversees the country's nuclear potential.
Reportedly, it's a position at the level of a department head. According to sources, Kim Ju Ae is gradually being prepared for a possible future role in the leadership of the Korean People's Army: she is being familiarized with generals' reports, and in some cases, she reportedly issues orders instead of the official head of the department.
These reports emerged against the backdrop of the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea, during which Kim Jong Un was again elected General Secretary of the Party — a position he has held for 15 years. The Congress resolution emphasizes that under his leadership, the country's army has become strong and ready to resist any threats.
Previously, South Korea's National Intelligence Service named Kim Ju Ae as the most likely successor to power. Her frequent public appearances with her father, including during ballistic missile tests, have intensified discussions about a possible transfer of power. If this happens, it would be an unprecedented step, as power in the Kim dynasty was previously passed down through the male line.
