North Korea sharply criticized South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, labeling him a "hypocrite" and accusing him of feigning willingness to restore relations while remaining confrontational. Lee asserted that the South Korea–US alliance could be "upgraded to a global level" if a path to denuclearization, peace, and coexistence emerges on the peninsula. Pyongyang dismissed the notion of denuclearization as a naive dream and reiterated that it will never relinquish nuclear weapons, declaring its status as an "irreversible" and "inevitable" nuclear power in response to perceived external hostile threats and shifts in global security dynamics.
North Korea has hit out at South Korean President Lee Jae Myung calling him a "hypocrite" over his remarks on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula during his trip to the United States. During his visit to the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington on Monday, Lee said that the alliance between South Korea and the US would be "upgraded to a global level" when "there is a path for denuclearization, peace and coexistence on the Korean Peninsula."
On Wednesday, Pyongyang's state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said that Lee had "pretended that he had a will to restore the relations" with the North, but had revealed "his true colours as a confrontation maniac" and a "hypocrite" with his comments in the US. The agency added that the South Korean president's mention of "denuclearization" was "little short of a naive dream like trying to catch a cloud floating in the sky."
