While children across North Korea spent the day in school, the preteen daughter of leader Kim Jong Un was with her dad watching a test of a new missile designed to obliterate a US city in a nuclear strike.
North Korea hasn’t said whether she has any siblings. Her age remains a mystery. The world doesn’t even officially know her name, and yet, since November she has been a staple of the state’s propaganda apparatus. She has appeared by her father’s side as he fires off weapons, dines with generals and presides over parades with thousands of goose-stepping soldiers.
