Kim Jong Un Preps 10-Year-Old Daughter as Likely Successor, Tests Tradition
- Kim Jong Un's daughter, Kim Ju Ae, is his "most likely" successor according to South Korea's spy agency
- Kim Ju Ae is believed to be about 10 years old and has kept a high profile since appearing publicly in late 2022
- She has accompanied Kim Jong Un to missile tests and military parades, signaling she is being groomed as next leader
- Her title has changed from "beloved" to "respected" daughter, a term reserved for N. Korea's most revered figures
- Introducing her early could help her establish herself before taking power and overcome prejudice against female leaders
