South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday that it believes the teenage daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is close to being designated as the country's future leader as he moves to extend the family dynasty to a fourth generation.
The assessment by the National Intelligence Service comes as North Korea is preparing to hold its biggest political conference later this month, where Kim is expected to outline his major policy goals for the next five years and take steps to tighten his authoritarian grip.
It’s wild to see the contrast. While the world is slowly moving towards decentralized systems and 'code is law,' we still have these 4th-generation family dynasties trying to tighten their grip. It just proves why we need systems that don't rely on who your father was. Centralization is a hell of a drug
