The National Intelligence Service (NIS) analyzed on the 29th that the status of Kim Ju-ae, daughter of North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un, who is known to be receiving successor training, has been elevated.

On the 29th, during the National Assembly Intelligence Committee's audit conducted by the NIS, this was reported, according to briefings by Lee Seong-gwon of the People Power Party and Park Seon-won of the Democratic Party, who are the committee's ruling and opposition party secretaries.

The NIS stated, "Kim Ju-ae appears to have partially elevated status as she expands her range of activities to party events while controlling the frequency of her exposure, engaging in activities such as being guided by Kim Yo-jong or assisted by Choe Son-hui." It added, "Scenes of her having direct conversations with the Russian ambassador, releasing 'two-shot photos' of Kim Jong-un and Kim Ju-ae together, and being accompanied by dedicated bodyguards indicate a solidified position."

There was also a report that Chairman Kim's security has been strengthened. The NIS reported through intelligence related to Kim Jong-un that "this year, Kim Jong-un's public activities have increased by about 110 times, more than 60% compared to last year so far, and security measures have been heightened with the operation of communication jamming vehicles and the introduction of drone detection equipment, conscious of assassination attempts against Kim Jong-un." Additionally, there was a report that measures to idolize Chairman Kim instead of predecessors such as Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il are being strengthened.
