Kim Yo-jong called to halt the scheduled South Korea-US Drills as not helping foster relations. She asserted that the drills should be suspended as they will not help foster better trust between the two Koreas. If South Korea wants to allow an atmosphere for better relations, any hope of reconciliation is possible.
She has been critical of South Korea and has officiated actions that demonstrated her resolve in citing displeasing activities at the border.
Kim Jong-un's terminator sister
Last Sunday, she made it clear that her brother Kim Jong-un has confidence in her actions. Declaring the upcoming military exercises between the US and Korea is a wrong move for leaders in South Korea, reported The Independent.
The comment was given by Kim Jong Un's sister, which state media had carried. It also seemed to be directed primarily at South Korea.
After a long hiatus in the two Koreas' relations, channels were opened recently; and keeping it status quo is important.
North Korea's choice to reinstate lines of communication is targeted at forcing Seoul to persuade Washington to compromise while nuclear diplomacy remains a stalemate.
She added that the South would conduct the exercises despite the adverse effects they will have on relations.
Furthermore, Kim Yo-jong thinks the South Korea-US Drills unwanted precedent, which severely contradicts the top leaders of the North and South who want a step taken towards rebuilding mutual understanding. This further complicates the North-South current relationship in its future path, noted CNBC.

Another statement said that the leadership and military would be monitored carefully to see if South Korea performs hostile war maneuvers in August or makes other bold actions.
Drills are not okay with her.
Periodic drills involving Seoul and Washington have long been a subject of antagonism in the Korean peninsula as North Korea blames the South for preparing an invasion and reacting with missile testing. South Korea and the United States have claimed that their maneuvers are only defensive.
On the contrary, the US and Seoul have been conducting smaller exercises the past few years to encourage diplomatic attempts to eradicate the North Korean nuclear crisis.
According to Boo Seung-Chan, spokesperson to South Korea's defense ministry, which concerns the summertime drills.
In a teleconference, last Thursday, Seoul and Washington are addressing the summertime drills considering the current state of the pandemic, works to reach denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, and their joint national defense.
A US diplomatic campaign to convince North Korea to abandon the nuke ambitions in return for political and economic benefits has stagnated since a second meeting between Kim Jong-un. Then-President Donald Trump failed in early 2019 following a dispute over penalties for the First Post.
Despite the lag in getting things done, South Korea's regime President Moon Jae-in desires a better reconciliatory move with Nokor. He was the one who bridged the summit between Pyongyang and Washington.
Later on, North Korea went on a rant that scoured Seoul because it attempted to undermine its dealing with the US.
But North Korea was severe against South Korea, telling it not to mess with its talks with the US. Kim Yo-Jong says to have a better outcome, and the South Korea-US Drills are not conducive to this.
