Kim Yo-jong, Vice Department Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement on the 13th strongly condemning the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff's tracking of North Korea's military parade.

In the statement released through the Korean Central News Agency on the same day, Vice Director Kim said, "The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff spat out ridiculous words such as having detected signs of North Korea holding a military parade late at night on the 10th and conducting precise tracking," adding, "This should be seen as an unhidden expression of the hostile view the South Korean authorities hold toward their own people."

She continued, "We did not conduct military exercises targeting anyone in the capital, nor did we launch anything, so why do they strain their necks so much to pry into another's household affairs?" and said, "Although there are about 200 countries on this planet, South Korea is probably the only one whose military institutions express hostile vigilance by using terms like 'signs detected' and 'precise tracking' regarding another country's celebratory events."

She went on to say, "Anyway, those people over there are truly strange and incomprehensible creatures," and added, "They only pick things that make the world laugh, and when it comes to behaving properly on the global stage, they are second to none in being utterly foolish."

She also warned, "As I have said before, these things will surely have to be accounted for later," predicting consequences.

Meanwhile, through this statement, it was confirmed that Kim Yo-jong's party position has been demoted from First Vice Department Director to Vice Department Director. At the 8th Party Congress, she was also downgraded from candidate member of the Party Political Bureau to member of the Party Central Committee.

However, the fact that a statement criticizing South Korea was issued under Kim Yo-jong's personal name shows that although her rank or position has been lowered, her political status and role remain unchanged.
