Kim Jong Un and Daughter Appear in Matching Jackets, Sparking Succession Speculation

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared alongside his teenage daughter, Kim Ju Ae, wearing matching leather jackets at a recent military parade, prompting speculation about her potential succession. State media prominently featured Ju Ae during the Workers' Party congress events, including walking a red carpet with Kim and receiving military salutes. Analysts and South Korean intelligence suggest these appearances symbolize her elevated status and possible grooming as heir, though she holds no official party title yet. Ju Ae has been increasingly visible since 2022, reinforcing dynastic continuity in North Korea's leadership.
