Kim Yo Jong Slams South Korea's 'Dual Personality'

Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, accused South Korea and President Lee Jae Myung of having a 'dual personality' by advocating peace while holding military drills with the U.S., according to state media KCNA. She criticized Lee's capability to alter historical confrontations.

Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, has issued a scathing critique of South Korea and its President Lee Jae Myung, accusing them of exhibiting a 'dual personality.' Her remarks came amid ongoing joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States, which she claims contradict their peace efforts.

State media outlet KCNA reported Kim's assertions, where she openly dismissed the idea that President Lee could have any substantive impact on the 'flow of history' related to inter-Korean tensions. Kim's sharp words reflect ongoing frustrations with South Korea's diplomatic strategies and military alliances.

Kim insisted that South Korea must recognize that their desired inter-Korean relationship will never be realized under current circumstances, citing the continued military cooperation with the U.S. as a significant barrier. Her comments underscore the persistent challenges in achieving peace on the Korean peninsula.
