So far, let me summarize with the stable North Korean journalist.

Q. Why didn't you announce the New Year?

[Sang-Sik Ahn, North Korea Special Reporter: I think we should not have come out by this time. It's quite unusual, and I think there's an intention to impress North Koreans that the situation is so severe that they don't announce New Year's history.]

Q. What is the government response?

[Ahn Jung-sik, a North Korean journalist: I spoke in the form of a commentary for the Ministry of Unification.

[Lee Sang-min / Unification Ministry spokesman: We evaluate not declaring the end of talks with the United States, and we look forward to North Korea's talks being held early to make substantial progress.]

Q. Is there a possibility of dialogue in North America?

[Shin Sik-Song North Korea Special Reporter: There is always a possibility of dialogue. Since we are talking during the war, we cannot say that the possibility of the conversation is 100% closed. But today's announcement clearly shows that North Korea's center of gravity is confrontation rather than dialogue. It is necessary to read exactly what the North is saying.]

Q. Will North Korea shoot ICBM again?

[Shin Sik-Song North Korea Special Reporter: I will read once again the relevant news. There is an expression that says, "It will not be long before we see new strategic weapons that North Korea will possess." Relatively clearly heralded the possibility of launching a new strategic weapon, perhaps a new ICBM or SLBM, but so far North Korea has not publicly announced that it will do something.

It should be said that there will be a launch of a new strategic weapon, but the expression 'not far' is somewhat ambiguous. It could be a few days, a few weeks, or a few months, probably because the development of new strategic weapons is not over. Depending on the speed of development of this strategic weapon, the timing of the launch will also be determined.]
