Kim Yo-jong, the Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, stated on October 8 that South Korea's proposal for medical aid to North Korea is "another farce centered on goodwill that leaves people astonished."

In a statement through the Korean Central News Agency, she described South Korea as "a group of troublemakers that has created a self-made farce, plunging the situation on the Korean Peninsula into a critical state."

Kim criticized the government's medical aid plan as "an insult to the nation and a mutated political provocation," calling it "a serious infringement on sovereignty that violates national law." She added that the ongoing farce, alongside the staged mine explosion incident, is a spectacle too good to miss.

She also pointed out that South Korea is engaged in endless bickering over whether the recent mine explosion was an accident or a provocation, with many questions remaining unanswered.

Kim emphasized that if there is a desire to restore relations, South Korea must show maximum respect and consideration in every action and word. She reiterated that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has an unwavering position of not engaging or exchanging anything with South Korea and has no intention of facing them.

Furthermore, she stated, "There will never be a time when we stand face to face with South Korea again," indicating that the irreversible history has long passed.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that the South Korean government applied for an exemption from UN sanctions to provide approximately 9.3 billion won worth of medical equipment to a hospital in Pyongyang's Kangdong County and received approval in May.
