Kim Jong Un's Sister Calls South Korea Govt 'Idiots' Over Sanctions — 'Wild Dog Gnawing On A Bone Given By The US'

A day after warning the U.S. of “a more fatal security crisis,” Kim Jong Un‘s influential sister called the South Korean president and his government "idiots."

What Happened: Kim Yo Jong, in a statement released early on Thursday, issued insult-laden threats against its neighbor for considering unliteral sanctions on Pyongyang.

The comments come two days after Seoul said it was reviewing additional unilateral sanctions on Kim's isolated nation over its recent barrage of missile tests. 

"I wonder what ‘sanctions' the South Korean group, no more than a running wild dog gnawing on a bone given by the US, impudently impose on North Korea," Kim Yo Jong said in a statement carried by KCNAWatch. 

She also called new South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his government "idiots who continue creating the dangerous situation," adding that Seoul "had not been our target" under Yoon's predecessor, who sought reconciliation with Pyongyang.

"We warn the impudent and stupid once again that the desperate sanctions and pressure of the US and its South Korean stooges against [North Korea] will add fuel to the latter's hostility and anger, and they will serve as a noose for them," she added.
