The girl, whose name is Ju-ae, has long been the subject of rumors in South Korean and global media, but has never been seen in public until now.
The only reason the world knows his name is because former NBA star Dennis Rodman revealed it after meeting the supreme leader in North Korea during a 2013 visit. of Seoul, that Ju-ae, born around 2013, is the second of Kim's three children with Ri.
Their eldest son was born around 2010, but the names of the oldest and youngest are unknown.
