"Little information has been officially confirmed about Kim Ju Ae, but she has increasingly appeared beside her father at high-profile engagements in North Korea, beginning with a long-range missile test in 2022. Her name was made known in the West by American basketball icon Dennis Rodman, who visited Pyongyang in 2013. She is believed to be around 13 years old.

"Lee, the South Korean lawmaker who shared details of the intelligence briefing on Thursday, said there were signs that Kim Ju Ae had started to weigh in on policy decisions. Some experts also believe that Kim Jong Un may have other children, including a son who has not been presented to the public.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service indicated that Kim Ju Ae has moved from being 'in study as successor' to being 'in the stage of being internally appointed successor', reflecting an elevated succession status. Intelligence notes cite her increasingly prominent public presence at official events and signs she may be weighing in on policy decisions. Kim Ju Ae, believed to be about 13, has appeared beside Kim Jong Un at high-profile engagements since a 2022 long-range missile test; her name was previously known in the West after Dennis Rodman's 2013 Pyongyang visit. NIS will monitor her protocol level at the upcoming Workers' Party congress.
