Following North Korea's launch of over ten ballistic missiles, political leaders expressed strong condemnation. The People Power Party stated that this would "accelerate the end of Kim Jong Un's regime."
Lee Yong-woo, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a written briefing on the 20th, "North Korea is seriously threatening peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula."
He criticized North Korea's repeated military provocations as "irresponsible acts that escalate tensions on the Korean Peninsula and directly undermine the international community's efforts to promote peace."
Lee urged, "Such actions cannot be justified for any reason," and called for an end to military provocations that threaten security on the Korean Peninsula.
Choi Bo-yoon, senior spokesperson for the People Power Party, also issued a statement, describing the military display occurring during the ongoing U.S.-South Korea joint exercise, "Ulchi Freedom Shield (UFS)," as a clear provocation threatening peace and stability in both the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.
He noted that North Korea has launched missiles three times this month alone, intentionally raising tensions, and pointed out that the responsibility for North Korea's arrogant provocations lies significantly with the Lee Jae-myung administration.
Choi emphasized, "North Korea must clearly recognize the catastrophic consequences of its reckless provocations," adding that such meaningless and foolish acts could serve as a catalyst for the regime's tragic end in the future.
He also issued a stern warning to the Lee Jae-myung administration, stating that if it continues to cling to the illusion of "false peace based on goodwill" in the face of blatant provocations from the enemy, it will only result in jeopardizing the lives of the people and national security.
