The South Korean government assessed on October 23 that it is unusual for Kim Yo-jong, the Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of Korea, to have issued ten statements within a month.
During a regular briefing at the Seoul Government Complex, Deputy Spokesperson Jang Yoon-jung stated, "Kim has continued to criticize issues related to landmine explosions, missile launches, humanitarian cooperation with North Korea, and border fortifications." Kim has made ten statements since her remarks on the landmine explosion incident on September 30.
Jang added, "I understand there are various analyses regarding her intentions, but rather than presuming North Korea's motives, we need to align the positions of both Koreas on the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) to prevent tensions and conflicts and establish a communication system for peaceful management."
She emphasized, "There was a case where six statements were concentrated during the drone incident in October 2024."
Meanwhile, Kim recently announced that North Korea would resume loudspeaker broadcasts toward South Korea within this month, stating, "I have seen nothing as foolish and pathetic as those who have hitched a ride on the current regime's cart, even though I dealt with the administrations of Moon Jae-in and Yoon Suk Yeol." North Korea maintains that the recent landmine explosion incident south of the MDL is a South Korean fabrication.
