The North Korean dictator has been enjoying showing off his daughter Ju Ae at public events for some time now. But Kim Jong-un is also said to have a biological son, whom he keeps hidden from his people. The bizarre reason: the boy would be “too thin” in the eyes of the tyrant.
A former South Korean intelligence official recently spread the explosive information. Choe Su Yong complained that his neighboring country’s dictator also had a son his people knew nothing about. The North Korean leader was ashamed of his “unattractive appearance”, the ex-spy said.
“Unlike his father or sister, who are plump and well-fed, Kim’s son is said to be pale and thin,” Su Yong told The Korea Times. He added, “I heard his son looks nothing like his great-grandfather Kim Il Sung.” A resemblance to the portly founder of the nation is considered a valuable trait in the family.
Her daughter’s appearance could ensure her lead in the rankings
It is believed that Kim Jong-un also tries to emphasize his resemblance to his grandfather to strengthen his own legitimacy. His daughter Ju Ae fits in well, because the girl is not exactly thin either. Since her facial features also resemble those of the dictator, he may have decided to appoint his daughter as his successor and future ruler. They like to appear in public in matching outfits.
A photo showing both of them in partner leather looks has a special symbolic power: the girl can be seen standing in front of the North Korean leader, partially covering him. “It is unprecedented in the status-obsessed North to publish a photo with Kim Jong-un in the background,” a South Korean newspaper wondered.
Only presented to the public almost a year ago
The girl is said to be home-schooled and enthusiastic about skiing and horses. At the end of 2022, she appeared in public for the first time with her father. The solemn occasion: the test of a ballistic missile. Previously, no one had heard of the daughter before she was presented as the tyrant’s “favorite child” by the tightly controlled state media.
