Tensions between South Korea and North Korea are reaching a peak. North Korea is still sending trash balloons to South Korea. Meanwhile, on the 9th, several North Korean soldiers violated the Military Demarcation Line and fled north after receiving warning shots from the South Korean military. 한국과 북한의 긴장이 고조에 도달하고 있다. 북한은 여전히 쓰레기 풍선을 한국으로 날려 보내고 있다. 그런가하면 지난 9일에는 북한군 여러명이 군사분계선을 침범하였으며 한국군의 경고사격을 받고 북쪽으로 도주했다. North Korea's waste balloons are flying all over South Korea, causing great damage to the people. The Korean government In response to North Korea's reckless and dangerous waste balloons, loudspeaker broadcasts to North Korea were resumed. North Korea resumed sending garbage balloons again, warning South Korea that it would pay hundreds of times the price. North Korea claims that these actions are legitimate actions of its own. 한국의 전역에 북한의 오물풍선이 날아와서 국민들의 피해가 이만저만이 아니다. 한국정부는 북한의 무모하고 위험한 오물풍선에 대응해서 대북 확성기 방송을 재개했다. 북한은 수백배의 대가를 치를것이라고 한국에 경고하면서 다시 오물풍선...

(6-12-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on June 12, 2024. South Korea and the United States held the third ‘Nuclear Consultative Group’ meeting in Seoul for two days starting on the 10th. At this meeting, it was announced that joint guidelines on North Korean nuclear weapons have been completed to respond to North Korean nuclear weapons. As a result, a review of concrete responses to North Korea's nuclear weapons was discussed between South Korea and the United States. 한미 양국은 10일부터 양일간 3차 ‘핵협의체그룹‘ 회의를 서울에서 개최했다. 이번회의에서는 북한 핵에 대응할수 있는 북핵 공동지침이 완성됐다고 발표됐다. 이로서 한미 양국간 북한 핵 대응을 구체적으로 대응해 나갈 것에 대한 검토가 논의됐다. The United States' direct nuclear response measures and South Korea's conventional response measures work closely together to deter North Korea's nuclear provocations. 미국은 핵 대응에 대한 직접적인 조치와 한국은 재래식 대응조치가 서로 긴밀히 협력하면서 북한의 핵 도발을 저지시킨다는 것이다. The United States still opposes South Korea becoming nuclear-armed. The US deterrence power alone is sufficient to defend against North Korea's nuclear provocations. 미국은 아직도 한국이 핵무장을 하는...

North Korea continued to send over 1,000 trash balloons to South Korea for several days, but on the 2nd, North Korea announced that it would temporarily stop sending them. 북한이 며칠동안 1천여개의 쓰레기 풍선을 한국으로 계속 띄워 보냈으나 2일 북한은 잠정 중단하겠다고 발표했다. The South Korean people have actually suffered a lot of damage due to North Korea's trash balloons, and they feel threatened. The South Korean government announced that it will take firm action if North Korea continues to engage in threatening behavior. 북한의 쓰레기 풍선으로 인해 실질적으로 한국 국민들의 피해가 많았고, 위협을 느끼고 있다. 한국 정부는 북한이 계속 위협적인 행동을 한다면 확고한 조치를 취할것이이고 발표했다. South Korea's National Security Office discussed suspending the full effect of the September 19 inter-Korean military agreement through the Cabinet meeting. In addition, it was announced that preparations are being made to resume loudspeaker broadcasts to North Korea. 한국 국가안보실은 9.19 남북 군사합의의 전체효력을 국무회의를 통해 정지 하기로 논의했다. 더불어 대북 확성기 방송재개도 준비를 갖추고 있다고 발표했다. After South...

(5-28-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) “North Korea's launch of a new military reconnaissance satellite violates UN Security Council resolutions _"a serious threat to world peace" @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on May 28, 2024. North Korea launched a new military reconnaissance satellite again for the first time in six months. The day North Korea launched its third military reconnaissance satellite (the 27th) was right after the South Korea-Japan-China summit ended in Seoul, so I am curious about its intention. 북한이 6개월만에 또다시 새로운 군사정찰위성을 발사했다. 북한이 3차 군사정찰위성을 발사한 날(27일)은 한일중 정상회담이 서울에서 끝난 직후여서 그 의도가 무엇인지 궁금하다. North Korea may have expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that China, North Korea's blood ally, is holding a summit meeting with South Korea and Japan. However, China's position is questionable as to whether it should applaud or condemn North Korea's actions. 북한의 혈맹인 중국이 한국 일본과 함께 정상회담을 하고 있는 것에 대해 북한이 불만을 표시했을 수도 있다. 하지만 북한의 이러한 행동에 박수를 쳐야 할지 아니면 규탄을 해야 할지 중국의 입장이 의문스럽다. It is very unusual for North Korea to hastily announce...

(5-21-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a Pentagon Press Secretary General Ryder and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on May 21, 2024. While North Korea provides direct arms support to Russia, China overwhelmingly provides defense industry support to Russia, Secretary of State Blinken said today at the Senate budget hearing for fiscal year 25. North Korea and Iran provide direct arms support, and China indirectly supports Russia through dual-use goods. 북한은 러시아에 직접 무기를 지원하고 있지만 중국은 압도적으로 러시아에 방위산업을 지원하고 있다고 블링컨 국무장관이 오늘 25회계연도 상원 예산 청문회에서 밝혔다. 북한과 이란은 직접무기지원을 하고 중국은 이중용도 물품을 통해 간접적으로 러시아를 지원하고 있다. The U.S. Department of Defense dismissed claims by Russia and China that the U.S. and its allies are escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, he refuted that despite North Korea's provocations and threats, the U.S.-ROK alliance and U.S.-South Korea-Japan cooperation have brought peace, security, and stability in the region. 미국 국방부(펜타곤)는 미국과 동맹들이 한반도 긴장을 고조시킨다는 러시아와 중국의 주장을 일축하면서 북한의 도발과 위협에도 미한 동맹과 미한일 협력이 역내 평화와 안보, 안정을 가져왔다고 반박했다. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov claimed on the 21st that he...

(5-20-2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on May 20, 2024. @Last week on the 17th, North Korea launched several ballistic missiles into the East Sea. And it was announced that this missile flew 300Km. As trade, economic, and science and technology cooperation between Russia and North Korea is in full swing, Russian President Putin held a two-day summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week and promised to strengthen solidarity between the two countries. 러시아와 북한간의 무역, 경제, 과학기술 협력이 본격화되고 있는가운데 푸틴 러시아대통령이 지난주 이틀간 시진핑 중국 국가주석과 정상회담을 갖고 양국간의 연대강화를 약속했다. Science and technology cooperation between North Korea and Russia is a serious violation of UN Security Council resolutions. It is unclear what promises China and Russia made behind the scenes, but the joint statement includes anti-American remarks and statements defending North Korea. 북러 간 과학기술 협력은 엄중한 유엔 안보리 결의 위반이다. 중국과 러시아가 물밑으로 어떤 약속을 했는지는 알수없지만 공동성명에서 보면 반미 발언과 북한에 대해 옹호하는 성명이 포함되어 있다. The U.S. State Department said that the strengthening of solidarity between North Korea,...
