Kim Yo-jong, maximize negotiating power 'two days in a row' statement... poured poison on the south

Kim Yeo-jung, the General Secretary of the Korean Workers' Party, harshly criticized South Korea's recent joint military exercises with the US, known as "UFS", on the night of the 20th. She accused South Korea of attempting to maximize its negotiating power by sending a cold signal to the country while praising the US-China relationship.

Kim argued that South Korea's situation mirrors the "one-sided ruler" power model that North Korea often praises. She also criticized the ambiguous statements made by Jeaman President, comparing it to a "worst-case scenario" plan. Kim's harsh criticism of South Korea's stance on the joint military exercises came as North Korea threatened to launch 10 short-range missiles in what appeared to be a show of sovereignty.

However, Kim Yeo-jung had previously praised the relationship between North and US leaders as "excellent" during a late-night phone call. He stated that he had no information about South Korea's communication with Trump and that Kim Jong-un had warm memories and feelings towards Trump. Analysts suggest that North Korea's cautious approach may be a reaction to the US's increased rhetoric and actions, potentially opening the door for official dialogue between the two countries.

North Korea has also shown interest in engaging in dialogue, but for now, it is taking a cautious approach to explore all possibilities.
