Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, advised the president of South Korea to “shut his mouth” after he underlined that his nation was ready to offer economic assistance in exchange for nuclear disarmament on Friday.
Her remarks mark the first direct response from a senior North Korean official to what South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has called a “audacious” plan. The plan was first put forth in May, and Yoon Suk-yeol discussed it once more on Wednesday during a press conference to commemorate his first 100 days in office.
Yoon’s belief that he could exchange economic cooperation for the North’s honour and nuclear weapons was described as “really simple and still childish” by Kim Yo Jong in a statement published by the state news agency. “It would have been more favourable for his image to shut his mouth, rather than talking nonsense as he had nothing better to say,” Kim Yo Jong said.
No one compromises its fate for corn cake, she continued.
The North’s liaison in South Korea, the Minister for Unification, referred to Kim’s remarks as “extremely rude and indecent.”
