주요내용 November 18 marked the one-year anniversary of Kim Jong Un’s (KJU) daughter, Kim Ju Ae, being in the public eye. That first observed public appearance, and the 19 subsequent events in which she has participated, have raised the question of whether she has been selected as a hereditary successor to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK or North Korea) supreme leadership. It is highly probable she has yet to be formally selected as a hereditary successor, and any assumption of power is years, if not decades, into the future. Her influence, given her age and lack of education, probably does not extend to policy at this point in time, but this is a person who has the Suryong’s (great leader) attention and affection, which can affect his mood and personality. Despite lacking a formal writ, position, experience or advanced education, Kim Ju Ae is part of North Korea’s politically active core elite cohort.
