KIM Jong Un has a secret son studying in the West who is poised to succeed him when the times comes, according to a bombshell claim.
The North Korean tyrant made a rare visit outside of the hermit kingdom last week to attend China‘s massive military parade.
But the villainous dictator didn’t come alone, bringing his 12-year-old daughter Kim Ju Ae by his side.
The young girl’s appearance sparked frantic speculation that she is being groomed as a potential successor for her father in due course.
South Korean spies have reported in the past that Ju Ae is in training to take the reigns of the world’s most secretive nation.
The Kim regime is riddled with secrecy, and very little is known for sure about the internal politics of North Korea.
Kim Jong Un had accompanied his father and predecessor Kim Jong Il for public appearances shortly before his death in 2011.
He was Kim Jong Il’s younger son, and two of his elder brothers were passed over in favour of him.
But one Seoul lawmaker has voiced doubts that Ju Ae is first in line to succeed her father – and believes the tyrant has another heir in mind.
Representative Park Jie-won of the Democratic Party told YTN radio that he does “not see her” as the next North Korean Supreme Leader.
“The scene-stealer at the Chinese military parade was Kim Jong Un’s daughter Ju Ae,” he said.
“Is she a suitable candidate for leadership?”
He further noted that she “did not appear at official events such as military parades or banquets”.
Park went on to put forward his own theory about the Kim dynasty’s likely succession plans.
“Most people in the West, especially in our country, assume that Kim Ju Ae will be Kim Jong Un’s successor, but I don’t think so,” he said.
“In a socialist country or feudal society, there has never been a case where a daughter became the successor or a woman became the head of state.”
Park pointed to Kim Jong Un’s early life before power, during which time he had studied at a prestigious school in Switzerland.
The dictator’s sister and close confidante Kim Yo Jong is also believed to have gone to school in the West.
“Kim Jong Un and Kim Yo Jong were studying abroad in Switzerland when they were Kim Ju Ae’s age, but no one knew about it,” Park added.
He speculated that Kim’s son “is probably studying abroad somewhere in the Western world right now”.
Park further claimed the regime is likely putting Ju Ae into the spotlight “to cover this up”.
While saying Kim undoubtedly “likes” his daughter very much, he emphasised the question of her being the successor “is not a matter to be watched”.
The Kim regime is known for its brutality – even towards members of its ruling family.
Kim Jong Nam, one of Kim Jong Un’s elder brothers, was killed in a nerve agent poisoning in 2017 in Malaysia.
Many analysts believe this attack was carried out on Kim Jong Un’s orders.
It comes as North Korea continues to plant its roots squarely in the inner circle of the world’s autocratic regimes.
He was pictured in China alongside fellow despots Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin for Beijing’s major military parade.
Not content to jet in for the ceremonies, he showed up in China riding his heavily armoured train.
Kim’s cosiness with warmongering Putin has seen him supply arms and soldiers to aid Russia‘s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
