Kim will have at least three children

North Korean state media rarely publish information about close relatives of the Kim dynasty, which has ruled the country with an iron fist since the 1940s. And Kim Jong-un’s daughter is no exception, as her existence was not previously acknowledged by official propaganda. .

All the information about the descendants of Kim Jong Un, who is believed to be 38 years old, has been suggested by experts with connections within the hermetic country.

Many of them guarantee that Kim will have three children with Ri in 2010, 2012 or 2013 and 2017, without being able to provide more information about it.

After one of his extravagant visits to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-un, former US basketball player Dennis Rodman said publicly in 2013 that he was carrying in his arms his “daughter Ju Ae,” who was a baby at the time.

It was the only time a great-grandson of the North Korean dictator was called by his first name.

There is no information on whether the girl in the photos released by the KCNA is the aforementioned Kim Joo Ae or if she is an older sister.
