Commentary: North Korea faces a troubled succession as Kim grooms daughter to be his likely heir

FOR CHILD TO MORNING STAR GENERAL

Little is known about Kim’s child, not yet his title. His locations are equally mysterious. He would only be 14 then, so he is definitely not a social risk, at least no yet.

Perhaps he is disinterested in elections. Other members of the Kim relatives have experienced this. If he does not want to provide the home business, he is wise to keep a small account. People in the Kim community frequently have unhappy endings.

Ju Ae, on the other hand, has been extremely noticeable in common. Kim has become adept at taking her to public events and demonstrating her various aspects of the state’s influence in North Korea, including marches and weapons. This is the regular route to arrival.

The North Vietnamese media has even taken to giving her numerous honorifics- “respected child”, “beloved baby” and” a wonderful person of guidance”. Media reviews claimed Kim Il Sung had used the name” Morning Star General,” which Kim Il Sung had previously used to describe his daughter, to refer to her in December of last year.

The image of her holding arms with her father during the Hwasong-17 missile launch from November 2022 has also been converted into a mail stamp.

If Ju Ae is the option, Kim is wise to start promoting her then. She may require decades of grooming before she can take over. Kim will need to labor hard to persuade the system of “old boys” to embrace her, even though Kim and the Kim home are only politically literate. For instance, it’s difficult to imagine how the army’s old watch generals would accept a young lady in her 20s or 30s.
