Friday will see a significant intercontinental ballistic missile launch.

During the test, which was criticized by the US, the couple stood hand in hand.

Very little is known about Mr. Kim’s personal life because he runs one of the most secretive governments in the world.

The two may be seen in several images released by North Korea’s official news agency, KCNA, holding hands while conversing, meeting with officials, looking over missiles, and watching the launch from a viewing platform.
Analysts in North Korea have been far more intrigued by the reveal of Kim Jong Un’s daughter than by the country’s successful launch of its most potent intercontinental ballistic missile, estimated to be capable of hitting the United States.

Why? due to how much it reveals about the regime’s intentions and nuclear weapons programmed. Or at the very least, it prompts some intriguing inquiries.

First, does this imply that she will eventually rule North Korea as Kim Jong Un’s replacement? Yes, most likely. Given that this is a family dynasty, Mr. Kim will prefer one of his offspring to assume leadership.

Second, why reveal her at this time? She is a really young woman. Could the fact that he is grooming her to take charge indicate that the 38-year-old leader is ill? Many theories surround his health, which is thought to be the largest threat to the continuity of the regime.

What does this indicate about North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, thirdly?

Her public unveiling at such an important event means that she will eventually contribute to the nation’s weaponry development. Mr. Kim recently said that, in any case, he would not be handing up his nuclear weapons. This is a means of demonstrating to the world that his nukes will be in use much into the future.

According to him, Mr. Kim may have made the public appearance to demonstrate “that the fourth generation of power succession is going to come through my [blood]line.”

Several North Korea specialists stated in September that Chu-ae had appeared in a film during the nation’s National Day celebrations.

However, the North Korean leadership did not officially declare that it was the leader’s daughter, thus this was just conjecture.
Following a contentious tour to North Korea by retired American basketball player Dennis Rodman in 2013, Chu-presence ae’s was first brought up.

Mr. Rodman claimed to have relaxed by the water with Mr. Kim’s family and to have “held their infant Chu-ae.”

According to experts, Mr. Kim could be the father of two girls and a boy, with Chu-ae being the oldest.

But the leader is incredibly private about his family; even Ri Sol-ju, his wife, wasn’t revealed until after the couple were married.
