North Korea is reportedly banning its people from using the same name as Kim Jong-un’s daughter.
Ju Ae is Kim’s second child, and though she’s believed to be aged about 10, few details about her have been confirmed by the state – not even her name.
However, speculation around her moniker may finally have come to a close after recent reports the North Korea regime was compelling women and girls with the same name to change theirs at the behest of Kim, Radio Free Asia reported.
Women from two different cities in the country said local governments had issued orders to those named Ju Ae, telling them to amend details on their birth certificates.
“Yesterday, the Ministry of Security in Jeongju City summoned women registered with the resident registration department under the name ‘Ju Ae’ to the Ministry of Safety to change their names,” one of the residents said according to Insider, which translated the original report.
