North Korea Leader's Daughter Believed To Have Younger Sibling
- The National Intelligence Service stated Thursday that North Korea leader Kim likely has a younger child of unconfirmed gender, while reaffirming his daughter, around 13, remains his likely heir.
- Since 1948, all three North Korea leaders have been male members of the Kim family; some experts doubt whether officials would accept female command due to deep-rooted patriarchy and male-dominated power.
- North Korean state media depicts the daughter as Kim's 'most beloved' child, showing her rising political standing through footage of high-profile events; her reported name originates from former NBA star Dennis Rodman's 2013 account from Pyongyang.
- In a photo from Sunday, September 6, Kim and his daughter attended a commissioning ceremony for the destroyer Kang Kon at a port in Wonsan; Independent journalists could not verify the event distributed via the Korean Central News Agency.
- Some experts suggest the daughter's rise could eventually end family rule if she hands power to a child from another lineage, while Kim remains young and designating an heir could diminish his absolute power.
