"The U.S. has never acted hostile to North Korea."
(10-04-2021) by: Janne Pak(White House and State Department Correspondent) "USFK is for the security of its allies." @Ned Price, State Department Spokesperson. Now South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are planning another peace show for the South Korean presidential election next year. The peace show is already a conspiracy show planned by China, North Korea, and South Korea, so the Korean people are most worried about it. Because until now, Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un have held inter-Korean summits under the pretext of peace, but the Korean Peninsula is still not peaceful. Unless Kim Jong-un dismantles North Korea's nuclear program, there will be no peace. South Koreans say they will no longer be fooled by Moon Jae-in's deceitful peace show. At the State Department briefing today (4th), Spokesperson Ned Price answered my questions about the South Korea and North Korea issues. Q:(Janne Pak): First one is South Korea, one is North Korea. First question is: Timing the South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s announcement of an end-of-war declaration will have a political impact on the South Korean presidential election next year. What is the U.S. position on the political end-of-the-war declaration? And second question: The North...

"U.S., launches North Korean missile? dialogue is open!"
(10-01-2021) by: Janne Pak(white House correspondent) @Jen Psaki, White House Spokesperon.(10/01/2021) North Korea fired another surface-to-air missile on the 29th two days after North Korea recently launched a hypersonic missile (27th). It has already launched four missiles in September. At a White House briefing today (1st), "In response to a reporter's question about the White House's response to North Korea's two missile launches and Kim Jong-un's proposal to restore communication lines between North and South Korea this week. Spokesperson Psaki said - "The United States is seeking unconditional dialogue with North Korea." requested, but there is no response from North Korea. The U.S. Department of Defense has issued a statement regarding the North Korean missile launch by the U.S. and is evaluating its specific characteristics." @Reported by Janne Pak, White House Correspondent(10/01/2021) **North Korea is using a 'strong and double-sided strategy' against South Korea. North Korea has set out to tame the Moon Jae-in regime. I wonder why President Moon Jae-in is not responding to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. For peace on the Korean Peninsula, it should be said that North Korea should not engage in provocations. Even if the communication lines between South Korea and North Korea are...

"U.S. still assessments North Korea's hypersonic missile claims"
(9-30-2021) by: Janne Pak(White House and Pentagon Correspondent) @Gen. VanHerck(USNORTHCOM) @Janne Pak(Pentagon Correspondent) @Kirby(Pentagon Spokesperson) North Korea's continued missile launch threatens South Korea, our allies, and the international community. North Korea has launched its sixth ballistic missile and cruise missile this year. In September, it fired three missiles. Regarding the missile launched by North Korea on the 28th, they said that it was a hypersonic missile test launch. South Korea also considers it a hypersonic missile. But the U.S. has doubts about the hypersonic missile North Korea claims. The U.S., Russia, and China have hypersonic missiles, but it is questionable how North Korea can test-fire these missiles at such a speed. I can't believe North Korea's claims. North Korea's claim can only be recognized when a close analysis of the U.S. comes out soon. At the Pentagon briefing today (30th, local), Gen, VanHerck, Commander, (USNORTHCOM, U.S. Northern Commander) answered the my question And spokesperson Kirby responded.: Q:(Janne Pak): On the U.S. missile defense against North Korea. you said last time that you are ready, 24/7, 365, if North Korea decides to launch a ballistic missiles. How is the U.S. missile defense capability against North Korea's hypersonic missile launch this week?...

"North Korea's 6th missile launch, what is the intention?"
(9-28-2021)  by: Janne Pak(White House & Pentagon, State Department Correspondent) @North Korea's missile launch North Korea fired another projectile, believed to be a short-range missile, into the East Sea today (local time on the 27th). The South Korean Blue House is convening an emergency NSC meeting and analyzing the situation. It is North Korea's third missile launch in September. Analysis by the South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities is currently underway. It should be known what the intentions of North Korean Kim Yo-Jong's missile launch were again three days after she sent her appeasing gesture to South Korea. North Korea is already taming South Korea's Moon Jae-in regime. Because North Korea hopes that all future talks will turn out the way they want it to. North Korea's purpose is to permanently suspend the ROK-US joint exercise, not to develop strategic weapons, and to withdraw U.S. forces from South Korea. The international community will not tolerate the irrational attitude that South Korea should be disarmed and only North Korea should have nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. Today (the 27th), North Korea's sixth missile launch should be focused on the fact that North Korea's Ambassador Kim Sung, in his speech...

"U.S. values complete denuclearization of North Korea rather than declaration of end of the war."
(9-27-2021) by: Janne Pak(White House and State Department Correspondent) @Jalina Porter, Principal Deputy Spokesperson(Stat Department). Recently, South Korean President Moon Jae-in proposed a four-party “end-of-war declaration” in his speech at the UN General Assembly. Two days later, North Korea's Kim Yo-jong responded to South Korea's declaration of an end to the war. But she said she would decide whether to hold a meeting based on what South Korea is doing as a one-sided message from North Korea. North Korea's Kim Yo-jong also warned that South Korea must abandon the double standard and abandon its hostile acts toward the North. At today's(27th) State Department briefing, Deputy Spokesperson Jalina responded to my question: Q:(Janne Pak): Recently, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's sister Kim you-Jong sent a tricky message to South Korea about the end of the war declaration. Kim Yo-Jong said the If South Korea satisfies all the conditions for North Korea, then it could go ahead with a declaration of an end to the war or an inter-Korean summit. And China also agrees with North Korea's message. A:(Jalina, Deputy Spokesperson): We are prepared to meet with the DPRK without preconditions, and we certainly hope that the DPRK will respond positively to...

"PM. Morrison Support for S. Korea's quad participation, will play a big role."
(9-24-2021) by: Janne Pak(White House Correspondent) @Janne Pak, White House Correspondent(Q) @Morrison, Prime Minister of Australia(A).(9-24-2021 at the White House) The U.S., Australia, India, and Japan quad summits were held for the first time in person at the White House today(24th) under the guidance of President Biden. Leaders of each country exchanged views with President Biden for stability in the Indo-Pacific region, and discussed COVID-19 vaccines, climate-related energy technologies, and supply chain security. In particular, in a joint statement after the quad talks, President Biden urged North Korea to refrain from provocations and engage in substantive dialogue. Watch this video: Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Morrison explained the meeting to reporters on the grounds of the White House and held a Q&A session with reporters. Q:(Janne Pak): There are currently four countries participating in the Quad Conference. Do you expect more allies and South Korea to join the quad to build strength in the Indo-Pacific region? A:(Prime Minister Morrison of Australia): That's a good question. Today's quad meeting was very productive. Quads are not for any privilege. Open to all Bilateral meetings and small group meetings will be promoted in the future. I had a conversation with South Korean President Moon...

"A quad, an entity made up of common interests and values."
(9-24-2021)  by: Janne Pak(State Department Correspondent) @Ned Price, State Department Spokesman. The United States has announced that it will hold a Quad Indo-Pacific meeting with several allies, not just four. Bilateral or multilateral talks are being envisioned. During the first head-to-head meeting with President Biden at the White House today, the Quadruple Leaders of the four countries announced that the United States will unite with its partners in the Indo-Pacific region for the common good. In fact, while the United States and China are competing for supremacy, the United States, which regards the Indo-Pacific region as important, must exchange not only with the four countries but also allies that have not yet joined, such as the EU. This is because if allies unite in the Indo-Pacific region, they can sufficiently counter China. This is the my question to Spokesperson Price at the State Department briefing today(24th). Q:(Janne Pak): On Quad, the United States attaches a great importance to the Indo-Pacific region. However, there are currently only four countries participating in the Quad. I think more allies should join the Quad to counter China’s power. Are you hoping for the participation of other allies such as South Korea in the near...

"U.S. remains open to end-of-war declaration, but wants complete denuclearization of Korean Peninsula!"
(9-22-2021) by: Janne Pak(Pentagon Correspondent) @John Kirby, Pentagon Spokesperson       @Janne Pak, Pentagon Correspondent. Recently, South Korean President Moon Jae-in proposed a four-party declaration of an end to the war with North Korea in a speech to the UN General Assembly, which he said would involve South Korea, the United States, North Korea and China. However, the Korean parliament and the public criticized President Moon Jae-in's announcement of an end-of-war declaration as a diplomatic disaster for Moon Jae-in. Because North Korea is not giving up its nuclear weapons, declaring an end to the war is a fatal blow to South Korea. The declaration of an end to the war was always desired by Kim Jong-un, and after the declaration of an end to the war, the U.S. military must withdraw from South Korea and the UN Command must be disbanded. At today's(22nd) pentagon briefing, I asked a spokesperson kirby about the declaration of the end of war. Q:(Janne Pak): You may have seen it reported that South Korean President Moon Jae-in proposed a four party 'end of war declaration' with South Korea, United States, North Korea, and China at the UN General Assembly. In fact, this declaration of the...

"South Korea succeeds in SLBM test launch, deterrent effect!"
(9-20-2021)  by: Janne Pak(Pentagon Correspondent) @John Kirby, Pentagon Spokesperson           @Janne Pak, Pentagon Correspondent South Korea has recently succeeded in testing a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), making it the world's seventh-largest SLBM holder. After 6.25(the Korean War), South Korea relied entirely on the United States for strategic weapons. However, with this SLBM test launch as an opportunity, the country has become a strong military power. It is good news for the United States that South Korea, an ally of the United States, is in a strong military position. Because North Korea has weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and nuclear weapons, if North Korea makes a surprise provocation, the United States will South Korea has recently succeeded in testing a submarine-launched ballistic mi have to fight alone for its alliance. . While North Korea has always threatened with nuclear weapons, the successful SLBM test launch is good news for the South Korean people after a long time. However, North Korea has nuclear weapons and South Korea does not. Therefore, the power is unbalanced. There are many voices calling for South Korea to preserve its tactical nuclear weapons in order to balance its military capabilities with North Korea. Just...
