On Wednesday night lines of monster missiles rolled through the North Korean capital Pyongang. But it was not just his weapons that Kim Jong-un was parading. On show too, was his daughter.

As the North Korean leader took up his usual parade position, at the centre of the balcony, he was joined, unusually, by the young girl dressed in black.

She is thought to be his second oldest child, called Kim Ju-ae, aged around 10 years of age.

This is the fifth public appearance she has made, and all in less than three months.

Ahh... the traditional fight for succession, with direct heirs advised by regents competing with siblings.

The sister seems to be a ruthless piece of work.

Jong Un himself is the 3rd son as Jong Il passed over his first two as unsuitable. The oldest was assassinated and the second plays in a band and avoids politics.

[...unsuitable for some reason.]

Puberty. She is more interested in Kpop boy bands than ruling over skinny peasents.

Or we’ll see another person who the Kims couldn’t trust fed to dogs or sprayed with an anti-aircraft gun.
