Kim Yo-jong, the younger brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un of the Workers' Party of Korea, made a statement threatening South Korea.

This is the first discourse in about six months since the declaration of the end of the war and the inter-Korean summit in September of last year, and the possibility of improving inter-Korean relations.



Kim Yeo-jung took issue with Defense Minister Seo-wook's comments.

At the reorganization ceremony of the Army's Missile Strategic Command and the Air Force's Missile Defense Command on the 1st, Minister Seo Wook said, "If there are clear signs of a missile launch, it has the capability and posture to precisely strike the origin and command and support facilities." "He said, 'I took this into account.



Kim Yeo-jung said that Minister Seo Wook revealed his anti-DPRK confrontation madness when he spat out a 'preemptive strike' against North Korea, and argued that South Korea "may face a serious threat" by the minister's remarks.

He said he would reconsider a lot of things about South Korea, saying he was arrogant against the nuclear powers, and also expressed strong hostility by referring to Minister Seo as a madman, garbage, and a showman.



Secretary Park Jeong-cheon, who oversees the military field in North Korea, also made a statement, saying, "If the South Korean (South Korean) army carries out dangerous military actions such as a preemptive strike against our country through any misjudgment, our military will relentlessly use military force as the main target of Seoul. We will concentrate on destroying the fields and the South Korean army,” he insisted.


Points to be pointed out in Kim Yeo-jeong's discourse


However, there are several points to point out in this discourse by Yeo-Jeong Kim.



First, North Korea is intimidating South Korea with the power of a so-called 'nuclear state'.

Kim Yeo-jung criticized Minister Seo's remarks, arguing that she was "using a reckless arrogance that would never benefit them by recklessly talking about a preemptive strike against nuclear-weapon countries."

When it comes to war, North Korea, which has nuclear weapons, which is an asymmetric weapon, has the upper hand, and there is a sarcasm about what kind of guts it threatens North Korea.

This is why securing deterrence against North Korea, which continues to develop nuclear weapons, is important.



Next, it should be noted that the possibility of provocations against South Korea increased through this discourse.




While the recent move to launch an ICBM-class missile or test a nuclear weapon, which has received attention recently, was a threat targeting the United States as a major target. suggests the possibility that in

It is said that there may be a military threat in the area near the North-South border by breaking the 9/19 military agreement.

Thorough preparation is required.



North Korea published both the Kim Yeo-jung discourse and the Park Jeong-cheon discourse in the Rodong Sinmun.

The Rodong Sinmun is a media that all North Koreans can read.

Notifying the North Koreans of the threat to South Korea means that there is a possibility that tensions between the two Koreas will rise again, so be prepared.

It can be said that North Korea has begun a pre-stop operation against its residents before taking any action.



One final point to note is when North Korea will take action.



Kim Yeo-jung said she would reconsider many things about South Korea, but gave the feeling of passing the ball to South Korea, saying, "If you want to avoid a catastrophe, you must be self-reliant" and "I hope I will never see (Secretary Seo's) Gaeggi again."

At first glance, she might even think that North Korea might behave differently depending on how South Korea behaves.



However, from the middle of this month, the South Korea-U.S. joint exercise, which North Korea is sensitive to, is scheduled.

It is known that the ROK and U.S. military authorities will conduct the 'crisis management staff training', which is a preliminary exercise for the main exercise from the 12th to the 15th, and the main training from the 18th to the 28th.

North Korea gave South Korea a chance, but it is highly likely that they will take action to escalate tension, saying that they are also engaged in a 'match madness'.

In other words, Kim Yeo-jung's discourse seems to have a strong cause-building aspect of provocation against South Korea.



North Korea's provocations appear to be in a set sequence.

There is nothing to worry too much about though.

North Korea cannot do anything if we are thoroughly prepared.
