SEOUL, South Korea -- North Korea's state newspaper published pictures of Kim Ju Ae, the famous 10-year-old daughter of Kim Jong Un, again overseeing a missile test site on Monday.
The outside world is looking at the dictator's young daughter with curiosity, as the girl shakes hands with experienced military officials and sits alongside the North Korean leader wearing extravagant clothes that lure attention. North Korea watchers are scratching their heads, wondering what Pyongyang's intentions behind her emergence are.
It's been slightly over a year since images of Kim Ju-Ae were published in North Korea's newspapers. On Nov. 18 of last year, the North's state news outlet published pictures in which the North Korean leader was posing in front of Pyongyang's much-touted monster missile Hwasong-17 with his daughter.
As her public presence persists, the question of whether she may become the next North Korean leader continues to be reexamined. South Korean government's official position is that they are looking at all possibilities.
