North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un's daughter being allegedly prepared to take over the regime, according to an expert's assessment, following her recent visit to a military parade in China.

Kim Ju Ae, believed to be around 12 or 13 years old, made her first public appearance outside of North Korea this year, accompanying her father, Kim Jong Un, on a visit to China. The event, which will take place in Tiananmen Square, will see the presence of President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin.

Kim Jong Un visited China for the first time in years on Tuesday, travelling by armoured train with his daughter. The military parade, involving soldiers, tanks, anti-drone systems, and aircraft, is set to last 70 minutes.

Kim Ju Ae, the second of Kim Jong Un's and his wife's three children, is thought to be North Korea's heir-in-waiting. Her existence was inadvertently revealed by retired NBA star Dennis Rodman in an interview over a decade ago.

Since her first public appearance in 2022, Kim Ju Ae has been seen at a missile launch in November and other public events in North Korea in June. However, her exact age remains a mystery due to the secrecy surrounding Kim Jong Un's family.

The public debut of Kim Ju Ae on the global stage has raised concerns from parenting experts. Ketley, a parenting expert, advises Kim Jong Un to balance his daughter's exposure to power with opportunities for normality. He warns that intense public pressure could stunt Kim Ju Ae's emotional growth and have consequences for her mental health.

Dennis Rodman, who claimed he had "held the baby Ju Ae" during a trip to Pyongyang, praised Kim Jong Un as a "good dad." However, the scrutiny on Kim Ju Ae is expected to intensify as she stands alongside Russia's President Vladimir Putin and China's President Xi Jinping on Wednesday.

As Kim Ju Ae steps into the limelight, the world watches with anticipation, hoping for a peaceful transition in North Korea's leadership and a brighter future for the young heir-in-waiting.
