North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has at least one more child in addition to the daughter that the outside world already knows about, according to South Korean intelligence that confirms earlier rumors.

According to South Korea, it is a younger sibling of daughter Ju-Ae, who is believed to be around 13 years old. It has previously been reported that Kim Jong-Un has a total of three children, but Ju-Ae - believed to be the middle child - is the only one who has been seen in public.

South Korea's security service now says it has information confirming that Ju-Ae has a younger sibling of "unknown gender". At the same time, it is noted that Ju-Ae is being prepared to become her father's successor, something that has also been speculated about previously.

They are also investigating information that Ju-Ae has an older brother.

"But even if he exists, he is not relevant as a successor," writes the security service.
