North Korean Vice Minister Kim Yeo-jeong criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol by his real name, protesting against the government's push for independent sanctions.
In her statement published through her Korean Central News Agency, Kim Yo-jong argued that the more the United States and South Korea cling to the pressure of sanctions against North Korea, the more they will become a noose that will tighten their throat.
It is a backlash against the South Korean government's announcement that it is considering additional self-imposed sanctions as North Korea's provocations continue.
Kim Yeo-jung said that if she felt attached to the same sanctions, she would do it a hundred times and a thousand times, but she insisted that sanctions against North Korea could not escape the precarious situation.
Kim Yeo-jung also mentioned President Yoon Seok-yeol's real name, and criticized the South Korean people, saying, "I don't know why I'm just watching the regime where idiots sit in and keep creating a precarious situation."
When President Moon Jae-in came to power, at least Seoul was not a target for North Korea, and she continued her outright military threat to South Korea.
