In November she joined her father at a test launch of a nuclear missile. The pair were pictured walking hand in hand inspecting the Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile before it was fired Kim is believed to have as many as three children, two girls and a boy, experts say. Michael Madden, a North Korea leadership expert at the US-based Stimson Centre, said at the time: “This is the first observed occasion where we have seen Kim Jong-un’s daughter at a public event. “It is highly significant and represents a certain degree of comfort on Kim Jong-un’s part that he would bring her out in public in such fashion.” Her unexpected appearance raised the prospect that leadership of the totalitarian state could pass to a fourth generation of Kims, and suggests that nuclear weapons will be part of that inheritance, analysts said. Mr Madden added: “The nuclear weapons programme and Kim Jong-un’s accomplishments around them is a family legacy for whomever his successor is. “So, what we are seeing, is Kim telecasting that fourth-generation hereditary succession is highly likely to happen. “This is intended to communicate it to the wider North Korean elite as well as to foreign governments.”
