Jo Tae-Yong, the nominee for the Director of the National Intelligence Service has stated that Kim Ju-ae the daughter of North Korean Kim Jong-un is a strong contender for the presidential succession.
According to the written answers submitted to the office of Yun Geon-young a member of the Democratic Party on the 4th, the nominee Jo stated, “After analyzing the public activities of Kim Ju-ae and the level of courtesy in North Korea, Kim Ju-ae appears to be a strong contender for the succession at present.”
However, the nominee Jo added, “Since Secretary Kim is still young and healthy and there are many variables, we are keeping all possibilities open and monitoring. The National Intelligence Service understands that Secretary Kim has children born in 2013 including Kim Ju-ae as well as children of unknown gender.”
Recently, Kim Ju-ae has been continuously appearing at military and political-economic events with Secretary Kim since she first revealed her face in November 2022.
