The Jerusalem Post reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to be consolidating his daughter’s position as successor, and there are signs she is providing input on policy matters, South Korean lawmakers said on Thursday, citing a spy agency briefing.
South Korea’s National Intelligence Agency (NIS) will closely watch whether the daughter, believed to be named Kim Ju Ae, attends an upcoming meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party and how she is presented, including whether she assumes any official title, the lawmakers said.
‘In the past, the NIS described Kim Ju Ae as being ‘in study as successor,’ but today the expression used was that she ‘was in the stage of being internally appointed successor,’ lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun told reporters following a closed-door briefing from the NIS.
Ju Ae, believed to be in her early teens, has been increasingly prominently featured in North Korea’s state media, accompanying her father on field guidance, including inspections of weapons projects, amid speculation among analysts that she is being groomed as the country’s fourth-generation leader…”
