North Korea's state-run television KRT on Saturday aired a video of leader Kim Jong Un and his daughter watching a sports event attended by government officials on Friday, which is the first time the girl has been seen at a non-military event.

The daughter, often described by state media as Kim’s “beloved child" or "respected child" has been seen alongside her father Kim at military events including earlier this month.

Little is known about the girl, and she has not been named in state media. South Korean intelligence officials believe she is the daughter identified as Ju Ae by former American basketball player Dennis Rodman, who spent time with Kim's family in 2013.

Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of the North Korean leader, was also seen at the event, seated in the back row in a KRT footage. The event took place in celebration of late leader Kim Jong Il's birth anniversary called 'Day of the Shining Star', a major holiday in North Korea.
