On 19 November, the world was made privy to pictures of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un's nine year old daughter when their local media KCNA released pictures of the father-daughter duo at the site of a country's largest ballistic missile launch at Pyongyang International Airport.
A report published by the New York Post has now revealed that the nine year old girl's name is Ju Ae. the report has also revealed details of her lavish abode and lifestyle Ju Ae and her siblings indulge in.
The New York Post spoke to some North Korean analysts who has delved details of the North Korean monarch and his children's lifestyle.
