>”If South Korea expects to reverse all the consequences of (its actions) with a few sentimental words, there could be no greater miscalculation than that,” Kim said in comments carried by official KCNA news agency.
>Kim, the North Korean official, said those moves are merely a reversal of ill-intentioned activities by South Korea that should never have been initiated in the first place.

I mean Kim Jong Un is in quite strong position so he is not compelled to talk with South Korea. He is getting a lot of cash from Putin’s Russia by selling his soldiers in Ukraine War. In the US, Trump is so eager to build a condo in Wonsan and establish security cooperation. There is no need to talk with South Korea for now. When you have Russia and the US on your side, why talk to South Korea.

North Korea will never accept the Sunshine Policy and theres genuinely no hope you can woo them on your side. I do not see why South Korean Liberals keep extending a hand
