Pyong An: According to Fox News, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly banned girls and women from using the same name as his daughter and asked them to change it to something else. Kim Jong Un’s daughter’s name is Kim Ju Ae and her age is said to be about nine years. The Fox News report cited two unnamed North Korean sources – one living in North Pyongyang and the other in South Pyongyang – who said local governments issued orders to women named Ju-ae to change their birth certificates.

The sources claimed that the Ministry of Security in Jongju city has summoned women registered with the Resident Registration Department as ‘Ju Ae’ to change their names. North Korean girls and women have been ordered to change their names “within a week”.
All this comes amid South Korea’s claim that it is too early to decide whether the recently unveiled daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is being groomed as her father’s successor. .
Speculation about the status of Kim’s daughter, reportedly named Kim Joo Ae, has grown ever since she recently took center stage at a massive military parade in Pyongyang and the soon-to-be-released Has appeared on postage stamps, both events with his omnipotent father.
During a parliamentary committee meeting in Seoul, South Korea’s top official on North Korea, Unification Minister Kwon Youngse, questioned the notion that she was being groomed as the North’s next leader.
Kwon cited the relatively young age of Kim Jong Un, who turned 39 last month, and North Korea’s male-dominated power hierarchy. “There are views that (his presence) is aimed at talking about a hereditary power transition. But considering Kim Jong Un’s age and the fact that North Korea has a much more patriarchal nature than ours, this There are also a lot of questions about whether the female (drawn) power inherited by North Korea is actually correct,” Kwon told lawmakers.
Kwon said the girl’s repeated appearances in recent months were meant to bolster public support for Kim’s ruling family and prepare for a future hereditary power transfer. South Korean media have speculated that Kim Jong Un also has a son who is older than Kim Ju Ae and a third child, possibly a daughter. But Kwon said that only Kim Joo Ae is her father’s officially confirmed child.
North Korea announced in November revealing Kim Ju Ae had witnessed an intercontinental ballistic missile test with her father. She has since made four other public appearances, including last week’s military parade.
State media has called her Kim’s “dearest” or “honoured” child and published several photos and videos showing her closeness with her father. She was seen touching Kim’s cheek at an observation stand for the military parade and sitting in a seat of honor at an earlier banquet while being waved by by his parents and generals, which observers say is the most common practice in North Korea. was unthinkable because Kim is the subject of a personality cult that treats him like a god.

These stamps featured previously publicized photos showing the girl holding her father’s hand as they walked near the missile and photos with her father in front of a wall of clapping soldiers days after the Hwasong-17 launch. were pulling
Since its founding in 1948, North Korea has been ruled by successive male members of the Kim family. Outside studies show that only a few of North Korea’s top officials are women, including Kim Jong Un’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong, and Foreign Minister Cho Son Hui.
