尹President’s title and real name criticism
Keep in mind that “there will be a price for provocation”
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, who went public for the first time in 19 days, denounced the name of President Yun Seok-yeol in person and strongly criticized it. This is the first time since the inauguration of the Yun Seok-yeol government. According to the Korean Central News Agency, Chairman Kim said in a speech at the 69th anniversary of Victory Day in Pyongyang the day before, in relation to President Yun’s mention of ‘preemptive strike’ in case of emergency, “Such a dangerous attempt will be immediately punished by powerful force, and Yun Seok-yeol will The regime and his army will be annihilated.” It is sad and frustrating how long North Korea will use its ‘climax tactic’.

Chairman Kim directly criticized the Yun Seok-yeol government and President Yun, expressing strong hostility. He also omitted the title of president and referred to him as “Yoon Seok-yeol and his military thugs” or used harsh expressions close to the end, such as “Chutae and Gaekki”. It cannot be a rude and harsh remark that goes beyond the limit. The National Security Office said, “Chairman Kim expresses deep regret for making threatening remarks about the Korean government by referring to the real name of[Yoon Seok-yeol]President.”
He also made harsh comments toward the United States. “If the United States continues to seriously infringe on our safety and fundamental interests, it will have to face greater anxiety and crisis,” he said. do,” he said. This is an extension of raising the level of threats by presiding over the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea in early June and using the expression “struggle against the enemy” for the first time in two years. Even then, he said, “The right to self-defense is a matter of protecting national sovereignty,” and put forward the ‘strong river’ keynote.
Chairman Kim’s ‘word bomb’ seems to be an attempt to turn internal anxiety to the outside, considering the economic situation in North Korea, which is worsening such as the international community’s sanctions against North Korea, Corona 19, and heavy rain damage. Analysts say it is to build a justification for additional provocations, such as the 7th nuclear test ahead of the South Korea-US joint exercise scheduled for next month. North Korea’s hardline stance is reckless. South Korea, the United States, and Japan have already agreed to regularize the trilateral missile warning and detection and tracking drills at the Asian Security Conference in Singapore, and announced that they will put military exercises that have not been conducted properly since 2018 back on track. It means that we will no longer stand by North Korea’s provocations through trilateral cooperation. It is not advisable to respond to military provocations with a hard-line, unilateral approach. However, it is time to send a clear message that ‘If North Korea provokes, it will surely pay a price’. It is something that should not be overlooked and crooked like the previous administration.
