North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un (39) has had his daughter Kim Ju-ae, which is estimated to be about ten years old, has recently been increasingly presented to the public. Soon speculations arose that the girl would play an important role in the regime and even replace her father as ruler. Now Kim has given another indication that this thesis can be confirmed.
In early February, the ruler ordered all women and girls with the same name as his daughter to choose a new name. North Korean women would have had one week to change their birth certificates. That’s what the radio reports Free Asia, based on North Korean sources.
The girl is to be worshiped
As the portal writes, the name should Ju-ae take on a very special meaning. Of course you want a unique selling proposition Ju-ae reaches. If that name were hers alone, it would underline her importance and adore the girl even more. Therefore, all ordinary citizens associated with this name should throw it away.
Actually, the population officially does not know the name of Kim’s daughter. So far, the state media has only referred to them by names such as “noble child”, “respected child” or “beloved child”. The real name only leaked out because American ex-basketball player Dennis Rodman (61), a friend of Kim Jong-un, had leaked his daughter’s name. Rodman visited Kim in 2013 and described him as a loving and good father.
In mid-November 2022, Kim Jong-un first took his daughter to an ICBM that the dictator uses to threaten the United States and Japan.
patterns from the past
There have been three times in North Korea’s history that people have been forced to change their name because they shared it with a member of the ruling family. However, at that time these people had the same name as the acting leader. Not like his children. Korean names exist usual three syllables, one for the last name and two for the first name, connected by a hyphen.
Citizens seem reluctant to accept the new order. Opposite the radio Free Asia complained to an anonymous source and expressed her incomprehension. They would not have wanted to offend the ruling family by choosing their child’s name. You had no way of knowing what the ruler’s girl would be called. (a)
