North Korea's mercurial leader Kim Jong-Un gifted rifles to top party officials and made his daughter's public debut at a recent party congress, further stoking speculation about his succession plans and the potential for dynastic rule in the reclusive state.
The high-profile appearances of Kim's daughter, believed to be named Kim Ju Ae, have raised eyebrows among analysts, who say the young girl is being positioned as a future leader of the Kim family's dynastic rule.
Experts say Kim's decision to bring his daughter to the party congress and have her stand next to him during a military parade indicates he may be grooming her as his eventual successor, breaking from the North Korean tradition of male-only succession.
