Kim Jong-un's daughter has been repeatedly seen standing by her father’s side during military events, including a recent a parade to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of North Korea's army.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his daughter have attended a sports event involving cabinet and ministry of defense staff, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
This was the girl’s fifth appearance in public and the first time that the daughter of the North Korean leader has attended a non-military event.
She was seen in public for the first time during the launch of the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on November 18, 2022. Earlier this month, the girl stood by her father’s side as he oversaw a military parade dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the North Korean army.
The country’s state media only referred to the girl as Kim’s “beloved child" or "respected child" without naming her. South Korean intelligence officials reportedly argue that she has been identified as Ju Ae by former American basketball player Dennis Rodman, who spent time with Kim's family in 2013.
