Kim’s daughter appears again, heating up succession debate

-

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s daughter made a public appearance again, this time with missile scientists and more honorific titles as her father’s “most beloved” or “precious” child. She’s only about 10, but her new, bold photos released Sunday by state media are deepening the debate over whether she’s being primed as a successor. She took group photos with scientists and others involved in what the reports called the test-launch of its Hwasong-17 interconti­nental ballistic missile earlier this month. South Korea’s spy service said last week that she is Kim’s second child, Ju Ae, who is approximat­ely 10 years old.
