North Korea has announced it will release a series of postage stamps featuring the daughter of the country's leader, Kim Jong-Un. It's the latest event to promote the North Korean leader's second oldest child Kim Ju-ae, raising speculation that the girl, who is thought to be around 10 years old, is being groomed as a future leader. Earlier this month, she was pictured with her father at a high-profile military parade. This is the fifth public appearance she has made, and all in less than three months. During this short time she has undergone a remarkable transformation, making it increasingly possible she has been chosen as the future leader of North Korea. Newshour spoke to Robert Lauler, the editor of Daily NK, an online newspaper based in Seoul, to find out more about the North Korean leader's daughter.
