SEOUL - North Korea has unveiled new postage stamps featuring leader Kim Jong Un’s daughter, in what experts described as another sign of her rise as heir apparent of the nuclear-armed nation.
There have since been several high-profile appearances by the daughter, who has never been named by Pyongyang. South Korea’s spy agency believes she is Mr Kim’s second child, called Ju Ae. The corporation described the unnamed girl as Mr Kim’s “beloved daughter” in captions describing the stamps on its website. The series will be released on Friday.
The stamps “look like the official start of Kim Ju Ae’s life as her father’s successor”, An Chan-il, a defector-turned-researcher who runs the World Institute for North Korea Studies, told AFP.
