BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!

Evil Kim Jong-un’s secret daughter, 10, seen for FIRST time!

-

PRETTY ten-year-old Kim Ju-ae has been identified as the secret daughter of evil North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un — and experts believe the girl’s been kept hidden for fear she’d be kidnapped by her dad’s enemies and used as a hostage.

Up to now, Kim’s private life has been kept mostly hushed up, but the girl made her public debut singing with other youngsters at a celebratio­n of the nation’s 74th anniversar­y last month.

U.S. intelligen­ce officers say the way the tyrant and his wife, Ri Sol-ju, acted toward her are among the key clues to her identity. In addition, she was the only girl in the chorus with her hair hanging down and wearing white socks. The camera continuall­y switched from close-ups of her face to the beaming mugs of Kim and Ri.

Also, Kim’s murderous sister Kim Yo-jong was shown wiping away a tear while watching the girl sing.

North Korean expert Michael Madden says Kim’s daughter “would be close to ten years old in 2022, which is about the age of the girl shown in state media footage.”

He also maintains the secrecy surroundin­g her is similar to the way Kim was raised, nearly in secret.

“When Kim Jong-un was a child and teenager, he was kept cloistered from all but the top North Korean elites, who had close family or personal relationsh­ips to his father,” notes Madden. “North Korean elites could not interact with him or his siblings without his father’s approval.”

Hiding away heirs to the dictatorsh­ip is necessary, says Madden, who explains that if potential rivals for the top spot in North Korea were “aware of the identities of the leader’s children” it would provide a weakness they could exploit.

“Instead of fomenting a coup or insurrecti­on against the political leadership, the children could be kidnapped or harmed as a means of attaining leverage over the leader,” Madden adds.

Even wife Ri, a former cheerleade­r and singer, rarely appears with him in public for fear she could be used as a pawn to overthrow her evil hubby, say sources.
