Venerdì il dittatore nordcoreano Kim Jong-un si è fatto vedere e fotografare in pubblico per la prima volta con la figlia, la cui esistenza fino a quel momento era stata solo ipotizzata, ma non confermata. I due sono stati fotografati mano nella mano venerdì mentre assistevano al lancio di un missile balistico intercontinentale, uno dei numerosi test missilistici che la Corea del Nord ha svolto negli ultimi due mesi.

Kim è da sempre molto riservato sulla sua vita e sulla sua famiglia: secondo quanto trapelato avrebbe in tutto tre figli. La figlia nella foto dovrebbe chiamarsi Kim Ju-ae e avrebbe tra i 12 e i 13 anni. Una sua comparsa pubblica era già stata ipotizzata da alcuni a settembre, durante le celebrazioni della festa nazionale: secondo alcuni commentatori questa apparizione invece sarebbe stata voluta dal dittatore per mostrare al mondo l’erede destinata a prendere il suo posto, ma non ci sono certezze a riguardo.
