Pyongyang: Dictator Kim Jong Un to prepare sister and daughter to take over North Korea Kim’s new move is amid rumors that he is ill.
Kim’s move is aimed at ensuring that his family’s power in North Korea continues. Whether or not Kim, 40, dies early or has to step down for some reason, experts say his rule will continue indirectly.
In such a scenario, it is reported that after Kim, his younger sister Kim Yo-jong will succeed him. Meanwhile, Kim’s nine-year-old daughter, Kim Ju-ae, is also becoming the center of attention. Kim Ju-ae was seen with her father during a recent missile launch.
North Korean media portray her as Kim’s ‘favourite’ and ‘precious’ child. Kim’s 35-year-old sister is one of Kim’s most trusted people. The two brothers are very close to each other from a very young age. According to Michael Madden, director and founder of North Korea Leadership Watch, North Korea is not going to be weakened if Kim Jong Un resigns or dies. Here we see the collective leadership of the elite led by Kim Yo-jong. – Madden said.
Among Kim’s close confidants are his sister, daughter and wife Ri Sol Ju, brother Kim Jong-chul, and his top generals, Premier Kim Tok-hun, General Cho Ryeong-hee, and Marshal Park Jong-chon. However, on the occasion of both missile launches, Kim brought his daughter with the idea of a successor.
Kim’s health condition is getting worse every day in North Korea. Dr. Howell said. Kim is said to be suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Kim Jong’s weight loss during the year 2020-2021 is said to be at least due to ill health.
