[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hee-jun] The National Intelligence Service recently identified the daughter who accompanied Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, during the test launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) as his "second daughter, Kim Ju-ae."

Yoo Sang-beom, the senior member of the National Assembly Intelligence Committee from the People Power Party, stated at the full meeting of the National Assembly Intelligence Committee on the morning of the 22nd, "The National Intelligence Service confirmed that the daughter who came along during the ICBM launch is judged to be the second daughter, Kim Ju-ae."

Yoo explained, "Although there was some suspicion because the girl, who is usually about ten years old, appeared somewhat bigger in physique, it matches the National Intelligence Service's existing information that she is tall and well-built, and the National Intelligence Service confirmed that they judge her to be Kim Ju-ae."

Regarding Kim Jong-un personally bringing his daughter, he added, "The National Intelligence Service conveyed that it is presumed to be to show the will to take responsibility for the security of future generations."

Regarding the possibility of North Korea conducting nuclear tests and additional provocations, Yoo said, "Since North Korea's goal is to complete nuclear weapons and missiles, the possibility of additional provocations is always considered, and the National Intelligence Service judges that the possibility of a seventh nuclear test is high."
