Defectors weigh Kim Jong Un’s daughter as possible successor

Coverage so far

Reports published on November 10 say some North Korean defectors believe Kim Jong Un’s daughter may be prepared to succeed him. The Idaho Press said she first appeared publicly with her father at major state events about four years ago, while noting little is known about her. The Daily Star said she has appeared at missile tests and military parades. The New Indian Express and The Manila Times cited defector Kim Yumi’s concerns about a possible hereditary transfer of power; the reports do not establish that Kim Ju Ae is the chosen successor.
