North Korea president Kim Jong-un
According to a resident quoted in RFA’s report on Friday that a 12-year-old girl named Ju Ae lived in their area and that her parents had been instructed to go to the Ministry of Safety to have her birth certificate changed.
As per reports, the name is now only used for people of “the highest dignity.”
Across the nation, “the Pyongsong City Security Bureau issued an internal order from the central government to change the name of women who use the name “Ju-ae” within a week,”
Previously North Korea forbade its citizens from using particular names. People in the nation were reportedly advised not to use the name Kim Jong Un, according to a report from 2014.
Ju-ae, the daughter of Kim Jong Un, was reportedly spotted during North Korea’s military parade walking in front of a massive black-and-white missile while wearing a white puffer jacket and red sneakers, sparking rumours that she is being prepared to succeed her father. Prior to the parade, she was also photographed attending a lavish banquet at a military barracks. She was last seem in November of last year.
Only Ju-ae, one of Kim Jong Un’s three children, has been spotted in public.
On Wednesday, the young woman gained further attention when she attended a widely reported state dinner and posed for pictures with senior North Korean generals.
Thus this most recent name prohibition is not unusual for North Korea, But it’s too soon to predict what Kim’s daughter’s future holds, and this only indicates that he wants his child to be noticed, she claimed.
She claimed that the dictatorship has yet to declare that the girl has been designated for succession and that state media has not yet begun the customary early anointing and praise of a chosen successor.
Heirs apparent would receive key titles under the former leaders of North Korea. Prior to assuming power in late 2011, Kim was appointed to important party positions and awarded the rank of a four-star general.
