South Korea's spy agency says Ki Ju Ae's prominent public presence indicates she is the chosen heir.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has selected his daughter as his heir, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday.

Kim Ju Ae - who is believed to be 13 - has in recent months been pictured beside her father in high-profile events like a visit to Beijing in September, her first known trip abroad.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it took a “range of circumstances” into account including her increasingly prominent public presence at official events" in making this assessment.

      As she’s then effectively getting in line, would that be a coup queue? Seems to track for NoKo. 🤪

      Kinda makes me wish one of them thought screaming was singing, then we could dub them “NoKo Oh-No”.

      FWIW, the other thread I was fiddling with mentally was re: the term “chuffed” and its implied verb “to chuff” to create this headline: “Coup queue for NoKo chuff” 🤣
