North Korean TV removes clip of girl speculated to be other Kim daughter

State media made rare edit of propaganda music video attached to report on Kim and confirmed daughter at ICBM launch

North Korea took the unprecedented step of publicly revealing one of Kim Jong Un’s young daughters last weekend, but speculation about his children actually ramped up two months ago when a girl appeared to receive special attention from Kim and his wife at a major holiday concert. 

Now, state TV has suggested coverage of the girl is sensitive, a possible indication that she is connected to the Kim family or someone else close to the leadership.
