During the recent missile test in North Korea, TV viewers got their first glimpse of the daughter of ruler Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol-ju. The youthful-looking daughter, who resembles her father, wore a white winter jacket and red shoes. One photo showed her holding hands with her father. It was not clear what her name was or how old she was.
Kim was present “with his beloved daughter and wife” at the ICBM launch site.
According to observers, the photos should demonstrate Kim’s self-confidence and family connection. Nothing is known about internal discussions in the isolated country about a possible successor to Kim. South Korean intelligence said last year that his younger and more influential sister, Kim Yo-jong, now appears to be the “de facto leader number two.”
Little is known about the private life of the autocratic ruler. South Korean intelligence believes Kim and Ri have two daughters and a son. North Korea has never revealed the existence of Kim’s children, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reports. Ri gave birth to a child in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
Kim, who is 38 years old according to South Korea, was proclaimed Supreme Leader of the Armed Forces, Party and State following the death of his father Kim Jong Il in late 2011. The Kim dynasty has ruled the impoverished but well armed state.
