◇Anchor> Now Chairman Kim Jong-un has made a nuclear threat statement. I mentioned the use of nuclear weapons during my speech at the National Defense University, how do you see it?

◆Kim Yong-hyun> It's the 7th, so it was yesterday. It is a school named after Kim Jong-un yesterday. It's Kim Jong-un University of National Defense. It's a 60-year-old university. It deals with the overall comprehensive study in areas related to defense. Or it should be considered a school that learns various defense-related things. What was said there was that if the enemy tries to use force, North Korea uses force. use all means of attack It's a story that doesn't rule out nuclear weapons. Of course, Chairman Kim Jong-un has made similar remarks before that, and the university I went to yesterday is a very symbolic national defense-related general university in North Korea. The fact that he made such a statement in front of students there is different, I think we should look at it like this. Anyway, the confrontation between the two Koreas continues now, and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's strong pressure on the South came out yesterday. I should look at it like this.

◇Anchor> The Supreme People's Assembly was held yesterday. It is said that the contents will be released through state media as early as this morning, so will the meeting be over? What do you think?

◆Kim Yong-hyun> The meeting may be over now, but this meeting will be a very special meeting. Because North Korea's constitutional amendment is a meeting, and various inter-Korean relations are hostile, and North Korea is now seeing that there is a possibility that the provisions related to inter-Korean relations, the provisions related to unification, and possibly territorial provisions may be abstracted. Since a lot of these things are dealt with, it takes some time and North Korea is also considering the constitution, so I'm looking at it like this. In that sense, it's probably about tomorrow for now, rather than the possibility of an announcement today, and it usually ends in a day when the Supreme People's Assembly is held, but it's about two days if we deal with an important agenda. If you look at it that way, I think it will take another day.
