Let's take a look at this more with a stable North Korean journalist.

Q. Why are you dissatisfied with North and South Korea?

[Ahn Jung-sik, North Korea Special Reporter: Mt. Kumgang Tourism was mentioned in the last inter-Korean summit last September, and Kim Jong-un also mentioned it in this year's New Year. That's how much North Korea is concerned, but it seems that North Korea's view is that there is nothing to wait for. I think we don't expect anything from South Korea anymore, but the truth is that this is not going to work because the denuclearization negotiations are not moving forward and there is no room for easing sanctions. Nevertheless, North Korea is putting pressure on our government to persuade the United States to bring about sanctions. Overall, the North American negotiations broke down and Kim Jong-un climbed Mt. For the time being, it is difficult to improve external relations, and this measure has been taken to strengthen self-help and independent routes.]

Q. Is it important for Mt.

[Ahn Jung-sik, North Korea's expert reporter: North Korea has a plan to tie Mt. Geumgang, Wonsan, Karma, and Masikryong Ski Resort to make it an international tourist zone. In particular, Wonsan Karma District and Masikryong Ski Resort are construction achievements of the Kim Jong Un era. However, since there is no sign of the resumption of Mt. Kumgang tourism, it could mean that North Korea will solve the problem on its own. There is also a view that the US is sending a message to North Korea because it is interested in this movement.

Q. Did you criticize Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong-il?

[Ahn Jung-sik, North Korea Special Reporter: Since it was Kim Jong Il who started the tour of Mt. The power orthodoxy of a country called North Korea does not come from the support of the people like ours, but from the 'white head', that is, the blood of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. In this way, the moment that Kim Jong-un denies Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, his power orthodoxy also disappears, so he cannot deny his father. It seems appropriate to see Kim as intent on strengthening his own political color that is different from his father.]
