[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The New Conservative Party criticized the South Korean government's response to Kim Kye-gwan, North Korea's Foreign Ministry adviser, calling it 'stalking of North Korea.'


Lee Jong-cheol, spokesperson for the New Conservative Party, said on the 12th, "How long must we watch the South Korean government embarrass itself by unilaterally courting North Korea?"


Earlier, Adviser Kim warned through a statement to "exercise restraint" regarding the Blue House's sudden announcement of President Trump's congratulatory message to Chairman Kim Jong-un. Kim said, "We directly received the American president's birthday greetings as a personal letter from the U.S. president, which the South Korean authorities breathlessly and excitedly reported as an urgent notification from the U.S. president," adding, "Perhaps the South Korean authorities still do not know that there is a special communication channel between the heads of North Korea and the U.S."


The New Conservative Party said, "If this is true, the South Korean government really 'jumped the gun,'" and criticized, "President Moon Jae-in is acting like an 'immature prodigal son' who cannot accept the reality of 'rejection.' Moreover, this has gone too far, reaching the level of 'stalking' and 'dating violence.'"



Spokesperson Lee added that the government's attitude toward North Korea is "irrational stalking beyond obsession and attachment," urging, "We hope they regain composure and seek realistic solutions." He also criticized North Korea, saying, "Unless they give up their nuclear weapons, all that awaits them is 'self-destruction,'" and stated, "They should quickly abandon the deception of trying to deceive the U.S. and the international community, obtaining what they want while retaining their nuclear weapons."
