undisclosed "Most beloved" to the nation, Kim Ju-Ae is now being groomed to take over the dynastic control of North Korea. The enigmatic state has never spoken her name in their press, referring to her only as the leaders "most beloved" or "respected" daughter from Junggi Saram, or "Military Camp Star," the kindergarten she attended.

Kim Ju-Ae is the daughter of Kim Jong-Un and wife Ri Sol-Ju, who was said to be quietly dispatched to a special holiday resort on the outskirts of Pyongyang, North Korea's capital city, for "re-education" after her father's death.

According to the book "The Immaculate Source: A True Story of North Korea's Tyranny and the Dream of the Star Abroad," by Japanese journalist Yoshitaka Murata, who had exclusive access to North Korean defectors, she is being prepared for a "special mission" in the country.

Even though Kim Jong-Un had taken steps to appoint his sister, Kim Yo-Jong, as his successor, it now appears that the reins of power will eventually go to Kim Ju-Ae, with her parents probably serving as regents until she comes of age.

Recently, state media has stepped up its propaganda campaign around Kim Jong-Un's "love" for his daughter, benefiting her chances of succeeding him. In a highly unusual scene, Kim was seen weeping openly on October 10, 2021, at a ceremony to mark North Korea's National Day, as he talked about his "beloved" daughter. And so, it seems, the world will have to wait to see what the future holds for Kim Ju-Ae and the enigmatic nation of North Korea.
