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.

    We are about to see Kim Jong Un outsource the country’s desperate need for overhaul to his own daughter to implement radical reforms so the country has a future, and then she will either succeed or more likely get coup’d and murdered horribly by her own relatives and generals and oligarchs who still run the country.

    I’m sure Kimmy will be fine where he retires to though, likely it won’t be North Korea, that’s for sure.
