Kim Jong Un Presents His Daughter At The Missile Launch Site

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was seen standing next to his little-known daughter at a missile launch site; some photographs show the young woman with her hair tied back, wearing a white jacket and a pair of red shoes

This Saturday the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, surprised not only the international but also the national press by appearing at a missile launch site holding hands with his little-known daughter.

North Korean state media confirmed that Jon Un watched the launch of his new type of ICBM , which fell in the waters off Japan, with his wife Ri Soul Ju, his “beloved daughter,” as well as other officials.

Kim said the launch of the Hwasong-17 missile, the North’s longest-range nuclear-capable missile , showed it has a reliable weapon to contain US-led military threats.

Although the images of Kim next to his daughter have begun to go viral on social networks and different media outlets bring them on their covers, it is known that it was the government that provided the photographs. 

As reported by the AP, the main Rodong Sinmun daily also published a large number of photos of Kim watching a missile being fired from a distance with his daughter. Other photos of her showed her with her hair tied back, wearing a white jacket and a pair of red shoes as she walked hand in hand with her father past a huge missile on a launch truck.

This is the first time the face of the North Korean leader’s daughter has been known, but so far her name and age are unknown. It should be remembered that Kim has kept her private life under lock and key and it is known by the South Korean media that she married Ri in 2009 and that they are the parents of three children who were born in 2010, 2013 and 2017.
