North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has selected his daughter as his heir, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday.
Kim Ju Ae - who is believed to be 13 - has in recent months been pictured beside her father in high-profile events like a visit to Beijing in September, her first known trip abroad.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it took a “range of circumstances” into account including her increasingly prominent public presence at official events" in making this assessment.
That photo makes me feel old - I remember when Kim Jong Un looked young and stupid, now he looks old and stupid
Exactly! When did he age that much? It’s crazy.
I suspect the last decade of dealing with Trump and Xi hasn’t been the easiest time of his life. Just look at before and after pics of normal US presidents. That job ages them a decade in 4 years
he has to play nice with XI, in order to get funding and AID from which NK is entirely dependant on china. helping russia is like straining thier resources too.
