One media commentator, Andrei Lankov, says that Kim could be presenting his daughter to the people to prepare them for the idea that the next ruler will be female.

On the other hand, Go Myong-hyun, a researcher at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, a Seoul-based think tank, believes that Kim will eventually reveal a son as his heir, and the appearance of the daughter was simply to make the event into “more of a family occasion.”
另一方面，首爾智庫峨山政策研究院研究員高明賢則認為，金正恩最終會選出一個兒子作繼承人，而女兒的現身只是為了讓這次活動「更像一個家庭聚會」。

Despite Western media, by and large, agreeing with Lankov’s view, North Korean state media has presented Kim’s daughter’s attendance at the missile launch as a symbolic gesture to reinforce Kim’s image as a “fatherly national protector.”
儘管西方媒體大體上同意蘭科夫的觀點，但北韓官方媒體認為金正恩的女兒出席飛彈發射場合具有象徵性意義，強化了金正恩作為「父親般的國家保護者」的形象。

By bringing his wife and daughter to the ICBM test, Kim’s nuclear missile program is now being treated as “an inter-generational legacy of the family dynasty,” according to Leif-Eric Easley, a professor at Ewha Womans University.
梨花女子大學伊斯利教授指出，讓妻子和女兒出席洲際彈道飛彈試射場合，金正恩的核彈計劃現在被視為「金氏王朝的傳家寶」。
