At first glance, Kim’s daughter, a preteen, 10 or 12, may appear an unlikely candidate for succession, but North Korea’s state media would not have distributed the photos if she were not being groomed for great things.
Did he think the girl, who resembles her father, would so love to see the launch that she would forever not only revere daddy’s achievements but promise to build on the program after he’s gone?
Thae Yong-ho, a former senior North Korean diplomat who defected from the North’s embassy in London six years ago, stressed that reality to NK News, a website in Seoul that tries to track comings and goings in North Korea. “The reveal of the daughter means that North Korea will be nuclear state from generation to generation,” he was quoted as saying. “The world must give up its dream to denuclearize North Korea.
Another shot shows Ju Ae hovering over daddy’s shoulder as he officially confirmed the launch, which may have been the first of a Hwasong 17 capable of traveling 10,000 miles. Father and daughter are also seen posing in front of the missile before its launch. Good for Yo Jong, but succession was perhaps always more likely to go to one of Kim’s children. So what’s become of Kim’s two boys? Why weren’t they in on the fun of the launch?
And what about the gender question? In the North’s highly sexist society, where women seldom attain top positions, might not Ju Ae face enormous hostility if she were to take over some day?
