For years, Kim Jong Un's daughter — Kim Ju Ae — was a mystery to the world.
But in late 2022 state media began showing photos of her at North Korean military events.
Ju Ae has since attended several missile launches, raising questions about Kim's intentions.

North Korea tested its largest intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday, marking the country's latest attempt to boost its weapons program in the face of joint military drills between the US and South Korea.
