¡Hola, amigos! This Liberation Day, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung dropped some big news: he vows to respect the DPRK's system and ruled out any unification by absorption 🤝❌. It's a fresh beat in the Korea drama!
Speaking at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, Lee said, "We affirm our respect for the DPRK's current system… and assert that we have no intention of engaging in hostile acts." It's a clear U-turn from the previous administration's one-track approach to reunification.
Lee wants to bring back the 2018 inter-Korean military pact with "proactive and gradual steps," starting with moves like removing loudspeakers along the border and stopping propaganda leaflets. 📻✂️
As he put it, "Trust is built through actions, not words." Lee is calling for a mindset shift beyond Cold War legacies, hoping that Seoul’s gestures will spark good vibes in Pyongyang.
What’s next? Will the DPRK respond in kind? Stay tuned for the next chapter in the inter-Korean story! ✌️🌏
