청, Kim Yo-jong's Remarks "Will Not Make Any Special Comments"
Kim Yo-jong Criticizes President Moon's Missile Remarks as "Utterly Foolish"
[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] A key official from the Blue House stated on the 16th that they "will not make any special remarks" regarding the remarks made by Kim Yo-jong, Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea. This means that the Blue House sees no need to issue a special position on Kim's remarks.
On the 15th, Deputy Director Kim released a statement through the Korean Central News Agency, saying, "South Korea's President Moon Jae-in made an inappropriate remark that 'our missile forces are sufficient to deter North Korea's 'provocations','" and criticized, "As the president of a single country, this is utterly foolish."
North Korea usually uses the term 'South Korean authorities' when referring to the South Korean president in statements, but on this day, they specifically used the term President Moon Jae-in.
