Kim Jong Un's teenage daughter being positioned as successor, South Korea says

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) has assessed that Kim Jong Un’s daughter, widely believed to be named Kim Ju Ae, is being positioned as his successor. The assessment comes ahead of a major Workers’ Party congress in North Korea later this month where Kim Jong Un is expected to outline key policy goals and solidify his grip on power. The NIS noted Kim Ju Ae's growing public role, including appearances at military events and the Kumsusan Palace, as well as signs that she is being consulted on policy matters. Analysts suggest her presence at the congress could signal formalization of her succession plans.
