Kim Yo-jong, First Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, harshly criticized President Moon Jae-in's remarks emphasizing inter-Korean exchange and cooperation on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration on the 17th, calling them "brazen and shameless words that sound like drinking plain water and feeling indigestion."

In a statement titled "It is disgusting to hear shameless sweet talk," Kim Yo-jong evaluated President Moon's remarks at the Blue House senior secretaries and aides meeting on the 15th and his video message for the 20th anniversary event of the June 15 Declaration as "full of self-excuses, evasion of responsibility, and deeply rooted servility."

She said, "Although it was a speech by the so-called 'president,' there was no sign of responsibility and will toward the nation, nor any direction or measures for resolving the current situation. Listening to the speech of the South Korean authorities, filled with self-excuses, evasion of responsibility, and deeply rooted servility, I involuntarily felt nauseous."

Kim Yo-jong once again condemned the distribution of leaflets to North Korea by defectors and the South Korean government's 'tacit approval,' pointing out that "the South Korean authorities' speech this time should have included a proper apology, reflection, and a firm pledge to prevent recurrence," but instead was filled only with excuses and tricks.

She also accused President Moon of blaming external factors for the deadlock in inter-Korean relations, stating, "Our judgment, which has become firmly fixed, is that we can no longer discuss North-South relations with such a servile and submissive counterpart, who is tormented by deeply rooted servility and rushing toward disgrace and self-destruction."

Finally, Kim Yo-jong emphasized, "In any case, now the South Korean authorities have become unable to do anything with us," adding, "What the South Korean authorities can do is nothing but regret and lament."

Jang Kum-chol, head of the United Front Department in charge of inter-Korean affairs, also released a statement at the same time, saying, "An enemy is still an enemy," and "Therefore, there can be no exchanges or cooperation with the South Korean authorities in the future."
