Kim Jong-Un has not publicly designated a successor, and any discussion of North Korea’s future leadership remains speculative. Outside observers have focused primarily on his daughter Kim Ju-Ae, who has accompanied him to numerous military and state events since 2022, prompting speculation that she is being prepared for a future leadership role. Another frequently mentioned figure is his sister Kim Yo-Jong, one of North Korea’s most influential officials, who could play a key role in any future transition of power.
