Kim Jong Un’s daughter will NEVER rule North Korea as he loses power and even his inner circle no longer trusts him, defector says

Kim Jong-un’s daughter Kim Ju Ae will never rule North Korea as her father is losing power as even his inner circle no longer trusts him, a defector now living in South Korea has claimed .

South Korean lawmaker Thae Yong-ho was once a senior North Korean diplomat until he defected to South Korea in 2016.

After serving as a member of the National Assembly for more than two years, Thae was elected to the Supreme Council of South Korea’s ruling People Power Party, making him the first defector to join the leadership of a South Korean political party joined.

In an interview with Radio Free Asia, Thae said: “I think the North Korean regime will never make it to the fourth generation with Kim Ju Ae.

“In the last decade since Kim Jong-un came to power, the North Korean regime has gone too far and taken a very unstable and abnormal direction.”

He also doubted that Kim Jong-un would actually pass his position to his daughter rather than a son, but reiterated that the North Korean dictator has built this image of succession to power over four generations whenever he can.

Thae added that there are constantly changing actors in military and government leadership, resulting in “no consensus or solidarity between Kim Jong-un and the leaders around him.”

He suggested that this creates mistrust, which is why staff are constantly being replaced.

Thae continued, “Next, young people growing up in North Korea are not loyal to the North Korean system. They just appreciate the reality and dream of a more open and prosperous country.

“When they grow up and become the backbone of North Korea in their 40s and 50s, I think Kim Jong Un’s system will inevitably collapse.”

He also doubted that Kim Jong-un would actually pass his position to his daughter rather than a son, but reiterated that the North Korean dictator has built this image of succession to power over four generations whenever he can.

“If Kim Jong-un is uncertain about his health right now, let’s assume he got sick today [his sister] Kim Yo-jong has no choice but to volunteer as a replacement,” he said, adding: “To some extent, Kim Yo-jong would rule.

“I think it could be part of a power struggle to make it clear in advance that Kim Yo-jong cannot rule indefinitely, but that she must hand over power to Kim Jong Un’s children when they grow up.”
