In a recent visit to the headquarters of the Korean People's Army, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared South Korea as a foreign country and a hostile state. This warning comes after North Korea destroyed roads and railways connecting the two nations, symbolizing a shift away from reconciliation talks. It is speculated that North Korea has even changed its constitution to officially classify South Korea as a hostile state, following Kim's directive to treat them as an enemy rather than a potential partner for peace.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a grave warning to South Korea, referring to them as a "foreign and hostile country" and vowing to use physical force to protect North Korea's sovereignty. This comes just days after Pyongyang demolished roads and railways that once symbolized reconciliation between the two Koreas. The Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim Jong Un issued this warning during an inspection of the Korean People's Army headquarters on Thursday.
In a rare and potentially dangerous incident, a group of North Korean soldiers crossed the heavily fortified border into South Korea. Thankfully, no one was harmed as the soldiers quickly retreated back to their own territory after warning shots were fired. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the two countries, which have been heightened by South Korea's recent decision to resume propaganda broadcasts in response to North Korea's use of balloons to send trash and propaganda over the border.
In the midst of escalating tensions with South Korea, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a military exercise featuring the firing of nuclear-capable multiple rocket launchers. The drills were meant to demonstrate North Korea's readiness to carry out preemptive attacks against its rival. This comes after animosities rose over North Korea's recent failed spy satellite launch and a South Korean aerial exercise. South Korea responded by condemning North Korea's "absurd" provocations and hinting at potential retaliatory measures such as resuming loudspeaker broadcasts into North Korea.
A viral pop song titled 'Friendly Father' has been banned in South Korea for allegedly breaching the National Security Act. The song praises North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un as a "friendly father" and "great leader", which goes against the act's limits on praising and propagating Kim's regime. While the ban has sparked curiosity among South Koreans, some are arguing that the video should remain accessible for its retro vibe and the catchy tune that helps them focus on tasks.
