The world has contemplated throughout this week an authentic exhibition of blocks worthy of the time of the Cold War. The appointment took place where the last bars of that historic period pointed out that there would be second part. In the Chinese capital, Beijing (Beijing), where two types of cards were shown. On the one hand, and in response to the tariff war in Washington, that there are more countries sitting at the business table. From the hand of the celebration of the, showing the economic alliance between giants such as China, India or Russia.
But, on the other hand, the Gross Force letter was also taught. Represented by the technological-military display of the entire army of the Popular Chinese liberation army strolled in the. If the commemoration of the victory over Nazi Germany translates into the largest annual length of missiles, fighters and tanks of the Russian army; This is the equivalent in China. A battery of acts of such magnitude could only have three leaders as protagonists: the host Xi Jinping, the Russian Vladimir Putin and the North Korean Kim Jong-un. But, from the second row another figure emerged that monopolizes international foci. That of the woman who could end up replacing the third of them.
Kim Ju-Ae. Until his name we must take caution before the hermeticism and secrecy that characterize Pionyang. This is the alleged daughter of the North Korean Supreme leader, whose existence has never been officially confirmed by the regime, but which has been portrayed by the state press accompanying Kim Jong-un in other acts of relevance in North Korea. Her presence in Beijing has not been accidental and is being interpreted as a signal emission that she is chosen as heiress. This is all that is known about the young woman who can embody the paradox of putting the reins of the fourth generation of a strong and conservative communist dynasty. With all that those adjectives imply for women in a traditionalist Asian culture society.
A stellar appearance without mention of the regime or how to show the world the commitment to the medium daughter
A rapid review of the last (and only) rulers of the Democratic Republic of Korea is convenient. The country’s formation corresponded to the grandfather of Kim Jong-un, Kim Il-Sung. He ruled from 1948 until his death in 1999, the year in which the Supreme Assembly of the People coincided, unanimously, to appoint Supreme Leader to his firstborn son, Kim Jong-il, who also directed the country until his death, in 2011. But at that time there was a change. Kim Jong-un went up to power, but was the third of his children. Specifically, he was the first he had with his third and last wife, dancer Ko Young-Hee, better known in North Korea for her title of The respected mother who is the most faithful and loyal ‘subject’ of the beloved leader comrade supreme commander.
It is believed that Kim Ju-Ae is not the firstborn of Kim Jong-un, but that she is the second daughter, the median, of her marriage to the (believe that) former ri Sol-jug, now the first North Korean lady known as Camare Ri Sol-ju. Next to her she would have had three children, two men aged 15 and 8, in addition to the young woman who is estimated to be 12 years old. It is difficult to establish it with precision, by the character of the source that revealed to the world the name of Kim Ju-Ae, the former NBA player Dennis Rodman, a well-known friend of the Supreme leader of North Korea. He said in an interview that, during a visit to Pionyang in 2013 to organize a friendly match ,.
“I held her baby Ju-Ae and I also talked to Mrs. Ri. [Kim] He is a good father “
Dennis Rodman, former player and star of the NBA, about Kim Jong-un
“Hold your baby [Kim] Ju-Ae and I also talked to Mrs. Ri [Sol-Ju]. He is a good father and has a beautiful family. Kim told me: ‘See you in December,’ “explained the American basketball star, of the portrait of an intimate scene that was actually revealing the existence of the daughter of the most powerful man of said nuclear power. But something had long changed in what to let the girl refers.
All the spotlights have been placed on Kim Ju-AE since the official images of the arrival of the North Korean Supreme Leader to Beijing began to circulate. As usual, aboard the train Taeygho. There, just behind Kim Jong-un, accompanying him during the protocol greetings. But before this great international debut of Kim Ju-Ae in Beijing, it had already been captured by the official press at the inauguration of the great tourism project with which North Korea wants to inaugurate a new stage of greater opening, a type spa type resort.
But Kim Ju-Ae has also developed perfectly in other official acts of the regime. For example, the launch of the largest intercontinental missile of its arsenal, the HWASong-17, which reached a whopping 1,090 kilometers and also some of the worst fears of the Biden administration, which imposed new sanctions against the country. That was at the end of 2022, but in 2023 it already premiered in the world of the great war parades in the acts for the 75th anniversary of the North Korean Army Foundation.
And his presence in those historical moments is also not accidental, from the perspective of how scarce North Korean politics is willing to teach. Kim Jong-un was validated in the eyes of the international community when he accompanied, in 2010, Kim Il-Sung in his historic tour in China. Fifteen years later it is he who chooses his medium daughter in a similar way.
A woman at the forefront of another dictatorship that does not respect the rights of women and the shadow of the ‘aunt Yo-Jong’
One of the first questions that can arise after aiming the pools to Kim Jong-un’s daughter as a future heiress is the following. In what situation are women and their rights in an autocratic military regime? Given the obvious difficulty, situations of, for example, a habitual profession in a country with that letter of presentation can be compared. That of soldier.
In 2017, former North Korean and deserter Lee So Yeon reported the How had he gone to his idea of trying to ensure a daily meal enlisting the army, before he was mandatory in 2015. “The company’s commander stayed in his room in the unity until late and raped the soldier women who were under his command. This happened again and again, without end,” was one of the issues that they brought to light, as they did not have to do so long training. The men.
But instead they did what men do not: clean and cook. What Juliette Morillot, a writer known for her work North Korea in 100 questionsdefines how Ttukong UNjeongsu‘Kitchen pot lid’ drivers. ‘ These tasks did not prevent extreme conditions from suffering. “After between six months and one year of training we stopped having menstruation, due to malnutrition and stressful atmosphere,” said the ex -government, adding that in reality many preferred it to not have the period on a stage like that.
Beyond the contradiction or paradox that it is a woman who assumes the command of a country with a cult of the personality worthy of stalinism and traditional values that relegate women to the background, the truth is that in the struggle there could also be another influential female figure. Kim Jong-un’s sister and Aunt of Kim Ju-Ae, Kim Yo-Jong, who treasures great political influence and a large presence in acts throughout history.
Last year, Edward Howell, North Korea expert and politics professor at Oxford University, explained, , that I did not believe that Kim Ju-Ae was really the designated heiress. In his opinion, he considers that he is still too young, in front of his aunt who is better positioned with the fate of nomenclature of this Asian country.
“The North Korean leader appears with his little daughter in missile releases, banquets or soccer matches because he wants to be seen as a family man and a benevolent leader,” said the analyst. However, South Korean intelligence, the great opponent on the other side of the demilitarized area, has pointed out in his reports that Kim Ju-AE has all ballots or, at least, they are preparing it for it. And at this point it should be remembered that those same espionage services give truth to the information that Kim Jong-un ordered his stepped step to murder, through mercenaries in Malaysia. But what happens in North Korea, stays in North Korea.
