On March 20, 2026, Kim Jong-un's daughter participated in a military drill, driving a tank. This event marks a significant moment in her visibility within the North Korean military apparatus.

Her recent appearances at high-profile military events suggest a potential strategic initiative to integrate her into the military leadership structure.
