Kim Ju-ae appears on the podium holding the hand of General Secretary
Kim Jong-un.

Yesterday, he and his father appeared at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new city to build 4,100 housing units in the Seopo district north of Pyongyang.

As Kim Jong-un began his speech, Joo-ae occupied the right-hand podium, the very center, where the cadres were leading.

When I opened my first shovel, I stood right to General Secretary Kim Jong-un.

The Seopo district project involved 10,41 young people, not the military, and North Korea touted that they participated in the construction voluntarily.

Kim Jong-un mentioned young people <> times in his encouraging speech, expressing his concern for them.

Kim Joo-ae made her presence felt by her father's side from the moment Kim pressed the blasting button until the very end as he left the venue.

[Hong Min/Director of North Korea Research at the Institute for National Unification: It has the meaning of ensuring the safety of future generations. The fact that we will unite and govern a new generation in the future seems to have a picture of a big umbrella...]

Workers' Party Deputy Chairman Kim Yong-won, who had been cornered at a major event recently, could not be found this time.

As Kim Joo-ae expands his activities to include sports and economic events as well as military events, the controversy surrounding the succession plan is likely to continue.
