The next leader of North Korea may be appointed as a woman for the first time. We are talking about the daughter of the current leader of the country, Kim Jong Un.

Axar.az reports that the "New York Times" newspaper published information about this concerning South Korean intelligence.

"The most likely successor to the North Korean leader is Kim Ju-ae, the daughter of current leader Kim Jong-un. He often accompanies his father to official events. North Korean state media call him Kim Jong-un's favourite or most respected child. Currently, the girl is 10 years old. The North Korean leader has another child, younger than Kim Ju Ae. But at the moment, Kim Ju-ae seems to be the most likely successor," the report said.
