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.

    Look what Obama looked like when he entered office and how he looked when he left. And i bet being at the top of North Korea, surrounded by people who whould absolutely love to acquire your position by all means would be… well… a bit more stressful.

      You think the third generational decedent of a national hero is going to be toppled by his most fiercely loyal family friends?

      If the Kim family could have been pushed out by coup within the military, the CIA would have financed that shit 40 years ago.
