Kim Jong Un’s arrival in China for his first meeting ever would have had headlines.

But the girl she wears intelligently was completely behind him as he got out of his armored train, who caught the attention of Korea monitors: Kim Joe, the daughter of the North Korean leader.

According to the South Korea spy agency, Miss Kim is the most likely for her father.

But the details – including their careful age – thin on the ground. So what exactly do we know?

Miss Kim, for several years, is believed to be the second of Kim Jong Un and his wife, Rey Seoul Joe, three children. The exact number, and their arrangement, is not in any way certain, but Kim is very secret to his family, as he just introduced his wife to the public after they got married for some time.

Kim Ju ae is their only child who confirmed his presence by the country’s leadership. No other child was seen in public places.

The news of its presence appeared for the first time through an unlikely source: the basketball player Dennis Rodman, who was revealed to the Guardian newspaper In 2013, “their child Ju Ae” carried a trip to the secret state.

Then she heard about her until November 2022, when she appeared next to her father when the ICBM ballistic missile was launched.

By February next year, it appeared on the postage stamps and the presence of banquets for senior officials – described as the “respected” daughter of Kim Jong Un.

The “respected” characteristic is dedicated to the most venerable in North Korea. In the case of her father, he was referred to as “the esteemed companion” only after his position was established as a future leader.

The South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) provided legislators with some additional details about the little girl at the same time, According to the AP news agency.

They said that she enjoyed horseback riding, skiing and swimming, and she was educating at home in the capital Pyongyang. They suggested that she was about 10 years.

By January 2024, NIS concluded another conclusion: that the little girl was the “most likely” caliph of Kim Jong Un – although they indicated that “there are still many variables”, not the least because of her smallness.

Since then, she appeared on the side of her father on many occasions. She was standing beside him in the launch of ICBM and military marches, and she occupied the lead center and got military health from senior military leaders.

But Tuesday was the first time that she was seen outside North Korea, and the journey is likely to increase the speculation that might leave her father.

The Kim family, which has ruled North Korea since 1948, tells citizens that they are from a sacred blood line, which means that they can only lead the country.

However, there is speculation that Kim presented his daughter at this stage to try to overcome bias in the deep patriarchal state, which was never led by a woman.
