The mother of Kim Jong Un's 13-year-old daughter is preparing to inherit the nuclear power.
Kim Jo Ah appears with increasing frequency alongside her father at military parades, missile tests and state events. North Korean generals show special respect for her, and propaganda calls the girl 's "most beloved girl."
According to South Korean intelligence and former North Korean diplomats, Kim Joo-ah is poised to become North Korea's next leader. Defectors say that officials are already treating her the same way they once treated the young Kim Jong Un.
