Many things are now being said about North Korea’s chilly and hardened stance, but what stands out is the analysis of Cheong Wook-sik, director of Peace Network, who said, “The essential reason has mostly to do with North Korea viewing Chairman Kim Jong-un’s ‘recommendations’ as having been ignored.”

How should South and North Korea go about addressing that issue? “If maintaining South Korea-US joint military exercises and acquiring state-of-the-art weapons for the South Korean military are unavoidable for the time being, we need to think about the appropriate level of North Korean military power, the level that South Korea and the US are willing to tolerate after the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” argues Cho Sung-ryul, a research consultant for the Institute for National Security Strategy.
