◇ Anchor> Deputy Minister Kim Yo-jong was furious with North Korean leaflets, but when I saw the media reports, I saw a lot of these expressions. In particular, I'm angry with Choco Pie. Why are you angry when you send Choco Pie?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> What we sent you is that it contains Choco Pie and antipyretics.

◇Anchor> Isn't it better than sending trash?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> It's much better than that. Choco Pie was so popular that North Korean female workers who worked at the Kaesong Industrial Complex in North Korea asked for Choco Pie rather than salary. And if you sell the Choco Pie on the market, you can earn several times that amount. That's why North Korea said at the time, "Don't provide chocolate pie as a snack." Also, there is the soldier who once defected to Korea while driving through Panmunjom. Even the soldier who got hit by the bullet woke up later and said he wanted to eat Choco Pie. That's how well Choco Pie is known throughout North Korean society. That's why Kim Yo-jong is upset that Choco Pie has been sent. Why? If they see it, wouldn't North Koreans try to eat it themselves rather than report it? They'll want to give it to the kids.

◇ Anchor> Is it much better than North Korean snacks?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> Choco Pie is very famous. It's famous in China and very famous in Southeast Asia. So I didn't come out as a Choco Pie promoter for no reason. I'm telling you the truth, because it's so popular in North Korea, Kim Yo-jong used tactics on both sides, and through the Korean Central News Agency to South Korea, I sent a message to accurately reveal the brand because it's Choco Pie. However, it was also disclosed in the North Korean Rodong Sinmun. But I've covered all the brands. So, I think the reason for covering this up is that if North Koreans find out about it, they did it on purpose because they have something they want to have, rather than reporting it.

◇ Anchor> We can see once again North Korea, which is very wary of being immersed in South Korean culture, but wouldn't a private organization not send Kim Yo Jong because she's angry?

◆ Kim Yeol-soo> So the government's control limit is that when I send it like last time, there are many ways to control it if I say I will send it from a certain region, and now, private organizations here have no idea when they send it, where they send it, or who sends it, so our government has a limit to this. So this is inevitably happening right now, let's look at it like this.
