In November 2022, a photo emerged of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with a smartly-dressed young girl by his side - his daughter Ju Ae.

Strolling alongside her father in front of a towering intercontinental ballistic missile, she wore black trousers and a white padded jacket with her long hair tied back.

Making her debut in state propaganda - she was reportedly just nine years old at the time - Ju Ae was already dressed to impress.

Since then her hairstyles have become more elaborate, her attire increasingly elegant and sophisticated.

South Korea's spy agency believes that Kim Jong Un has chosen her as his successor, given her rising prominence at such a young age.
