North Korean leader Kim Jong-un laid out a map of Seoul operations and made a flurry of threatening remarks against South Korea.

He claimed that he would use his physical force without hesitation if their sovereignty was violated, saying that he was no longer an enemy.

I'll connect with a reporter to hear more about it.

Reporter Lee Jong-won, following North Korea's disclosure of the circumstances in which South Korea is a hostile country in the Constitution, are you raising the level of threat?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Korean Central News Agency reported in detail the remarks by Chairman Kim Jong-un, saying he visited the command of the North Korean Second Corps yesterday.

It is known to have jurisdiction over Kaesong and the Midwest Front.

At the meeting, Chairman Kim called our country an enemy and another country and threatened to use physical force without hesitation, regardless of conditions, if Korea violates its sovereignty.

He also mentioned the recent bombing of an inter-Korean land route.

It does not mean just physical closure, and it is defined as cutting off the bad relationship with Seoul and shaking off the useless sense of fraternity and unrealistic perception of unification.

The news agency reported that Chairman Kim was briefed on the enemy's trends and reviewed important documents containing military action plans.

In particular, Chairman of the states Affairs Commission Kim also released a photo of him spreading a large map on his desk and pointing at something.

Although the map was blurred, the phrase "Seoul" was identified at the top of the map.

In addition, a map of the Korean Peninsula is displayed on the TV screen next to it, and a line was drawn in blue in a position similar to the military demarcation line.

In the meantime, it was pointed out that North Korea used our military video without permission while delivering the news of the bombing of the inter-Korean road, and North Korea responded to it?

[Reporter]
Yes, Kim Yo-jung, the vice chairman of the Workers' Party, said in a statement that he used a video released by the foreign media and criticized our criticism as ignorant.

He claimed that he wrote a picture of one of the videos reported by the world's media, including NBC in the United States, and that he wrote it because it was good to see both in the sphere and intuitively.

He actually admitted to using our videos provided to foreign media.

However, Kim criticized that South Korea is also using photos and videos released by the Korean Central News Agency, saying that it is arrogant to put standards such as international law and copyright only on them.

In response, the Ministry of Unification cited the payment of copyright fees through intermediaries and refuted that it was clearly North Korea who used the work without permission.

He also warned that the South Korean government and military will respond strongly to any North Korean provocations based on the South Korea-U.S. alliance.
