Kim’s sister called the South Korean president a follower of America and a “wild dog”.
Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader, in a harsh comment against the South Korean president and the country’s government, called them “fools”, followers of America and “wild dogs”.
North Korean leader’s sister, while condemning South Korean President Yoon Seok-yol’s request to intensify sanctions against Pyongyang, took a strong stand against Seoul.
Amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea’s state-run news agency has published a statement quoting Kim Yo-jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong-un, in which she called the South Korean president and government “wild dogs and fools.” .
According to Reuters, the South Korean president’s recent request for sanctions due to missile tests drew a sharp response from the North Korean leader’s sister, who warned that intensifying sanctions pressure would increase Pyongyang’s “anger and hostility.”
South Korea’s foreign ministry announced on Tuesday this week that the country is looking into imposing sanctions against North Korea. According to the ministry, among the sanctions that Seoul is considering against Pyongyang is sanctions in the cyber sector.
According to Reuters, North Korea has tested and fired an unprecedented number of ballistic missiles this year, and US officials have announced that Pyongyang is preparing to conduct its first nuclear test since 2017.
The North Korean leader’s sister rejected the positions of the president and the South Korean government, saying: “If they think they can escape from the current dangerous situation through ‘sanctions’, they must be really stupid because they don’t know how to live in peace and comfort.”
In his remarks, Kim Yo-jong has described the South Korean president and his government as “a wild dog running with a bone given to it by the United States.”
The statements of the North Korean leader’s sister were met with a reaction from South Korea, and the Ministry of Unification of the two Koreas condemned her words against the South Korean president and called them “pathetic”.
The South Korean ministry’s statement also said: “We deplore (North Korea’s) attitude of trying to place the blame on us… when the current tension on the Korean Peninsula is due to North Korea’s repeated missile provocations. “
