SEOUL: Kim Ju Ae made her first public appearance in November 2022 during a missile launch. At that time, she wore a puffy coat and red flat shoes, and sported a schoolgirl’s fringe.

But the daughter of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, said to be either 10 or 11 years old in 2024, has taken on a more mature look since then.
