North Korea’s Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, has firmly rejected South Korean President Lee Jae-myung’s attempts to improve inter-Korean relations. She condemned recent conciliatory steps like stopping loudspeaker propaganda along the border as mistakes and warned South Korea against expecting a change through emotional appeals. Kim also criticized Seoul’s “blind faith” in the US alliance and declared no interest in dialogue or meetings with South Korea, maintaining the long-standing tensions between the two nations.
