Kim Jong Un to Name Daughter as North Korea's Next Leader

Kim Jong Un is reportedly set to name his teenage daughter as the next leader of North Korea, according to the country's spy agency. The announcement could come later this month at the Workers' Party congress, the largest political gathering in North Korea, after a five-year hiatus, Sky News reported.

Ahead of the conference, Kim appears to be taking steps to solidify his daughter's position as successor, Sky News noted. The girl, believed to be named Kim Ju Ae, could be appointed first secretary of the ruling party.

Meanwhile, in other news, U.S. investors are suing the South Korean government over its handling of a data breach at Coupang, a South Korean e-commerce company. The breach has become a geopolitical flashpoint, with investors alleging unfair treatment of the U.S.-headquartered company, according to TechCrunch. Investment firms Greenoaks and Altimeter filed a notice with South Korea's Ministry of Justice on January 23, 2026, stating they suffered losses. The investors are now seeking international arbitration under the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

In the U.S., Gail Slater, the top antitrust enforcer at the Justice Department, announced her departure from the agency, just weeks before the Live Nation trial, The Verge reported. Slater had reportedly already been sidelined at the agency.

Also, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist, released dietary guidance for Americans, which has been met with criticism. Even his favorite AI chatbot is openly defecting, according to Ars Technica. Kennedy and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins held an event in Washington, DC, to celebrate the implementation of the dietary guidance.

Finally, SpaceX removed the Crew Access Arm from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, giving Starship a leg up in Florida, Ars Technica reported. The launch pad, originally built for the Saturn V rockets, has been used for the Space Shuttle program and is now leased to SpaceX for its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
