[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party issued a statement strongly condemning North Korea's missile launch into the East Sea, calling it a "continued act of North Korea's military provocation."

Heo Eun-ah, the chief spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary on the 5th, "Keep in mind that nothing can be gained through threats."

According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, North Korea launched a ballistic missile into the East Sea on the same day. This marks the third provocation since the inauguration of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration and the 18th military demonstration this year.

In response, Chief Spokesperson Heo pointed out, "North Korea is repeatedly engaging in military provocations as if staging demonstrations according to the firm ROK-US alliance schedule," adding, "The previous military provocation occurred when U.S. President Joe Biden was returning home after visiting South Korea and Japan, and today's military provocation took place just one day after the conclusion of the ROK-US joint military exercises."

He also emphasized, "North Korea's blatant military demonstrations, which seem to be flaunted like an event to attract the attention of South Korea and the United States, will only lead to further sanctions," and stressed, "It has always been North Korea that chose isolation and sanctions in the international community. They must quickly realize that nothing can be gained through threats and come forward on the path of dialogue and cooperation."

Chief Spokesperson Heo stated, "There will be no compromise on provocations that threaten the lives and safety of our people," and said, "The People Power Party and the Yoon Suk-yeol administration will continue to respond firmly to North Korea's military provocations that threaten peace on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia, based on a strong security posture and a reinforced ROK-US alliance."

Yang Geum-hee, the floor spokesperson for the People Power Party, also released a statement on the same day, saying, "The People Power Party will respond strictly to all threats to security on the Korean Peninsula," and added, "Even in June, the month of patriotic commemoration, we deeply feel the importance of national security amid North Korea's successive provocations that escalate the security crisis on the Korean Peninsula. We will unite our efforts for a strong and safe Republic of Korea that is unwavering against any security threats and for a more prosperous Republic of Korea."
