North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his daughter have attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new street in Pyongyang, the country’s state-run media outlet reports.
During a ceremony that took place on Saturday, Kim delivered “a passionate speech” and “shoveled the first spadeful of earth together with his beloved daughter, giving great strength and courage to the young people with hope that they would emerge performers of feats and victors in the forefront of the capital city's construction,” according to the outlet.
That was the daughter of the North Korean leader’s seventh appearance in public and the second time that the girl 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, she and her father attended a sporting event in Pyongyang, which included a football game and a tug of war match.
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 claim that she has been identified as Ju Ae by former American basketball player Dennis Rodman, who spent time with Kim's family in 2013.
