[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] As North Korea launched unidentified projectiles into the East Sea early this morning, the United Future Party emphasized that "the party shaking peace on the Korean Peninsula is none other than North Korea" and urged the Moon administration to face reality.

Lee Chang-soo, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement on the 21st, "Do you still not know that the party shaking peace and shared prosperity on the Korean Peninsula is none other than North Korea?"

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the same day, North Korea fired two projectiles presumed to be short-range ballistic missiles from the Pyonganbuk-do region into the East Sea.

Spokesperson Lee pointed out, "In April 2018 at Panmunjom, President Moon Jae-in and Chairman Kim Jong-un shook hands, and it was loudly proclaimed as if a breeze of peace would blow across the Korean Peninsula at any moment, but after nearly two years, nothing has changed," adding, "North Korea continues to flaunt its military power through missile launches and spews harsh words toward us almost daily."

He also criticized the government's passive response. Spokesperson Lee said, "Even as five European countries of the UN Security Council issued statements condemning the situation, the government stood idly by, and the ruling party, using the mask shortage as an excuse, indulged in vain delusions by talking about 'resuming the Kaesong Industrial Complex,'" emphasizing, "Due to the government's silence and the ruling party's complacent perception, North Korea's provocations have become routine, and the people, already struggling with the Wuhan COVID-19, have now reached a state of internal and external crises (naeuyuoehwan, 內憂外患)."

Referring to the recent incident of civilians trespassing military bases, the spokesperson said, "To threaten the security of citizens whose daily lives have been shattered by Wuhan COVID-19 is not just incompetent but cruel," and criticized, "The Moon Jae-in administration should break free from the illusion of peace and face the reality of South Korea's security."
