Suddenly, on the fifth day of the new year, the North Korean army fired more than 200 artillery shells in the western waters of the peninsula, and a place in the western waters of South Korea immediately issued a shelter order for residents, and South Korea's seven-day South Korea-US New Year's Eve Xi has just ended.
This is not accidental, the year 2023 that has just passed is really a watershed in the geopolitical situation on the Korean Peninsula, and there have been qualitative changes in some places between the two Koreas, the most prominent sign is that South Korea has suddenly become more assertive towards North Korea, and North Korea has responded with a tougher attitude, Kim Jong-un has set the tone for relations with South Korea: inter-Korean relations are no longer homo-ethnic relations, but completely hostile relations, and tough against South Korea's toughness. In recent years, the DPRK has made great strides in making historic breakthroughs in hypersonic weapons, missiles, military reconnaissance satellites, expanding the scale of nuclear weapons production, and developing modern unmanned aerial vehicles to maintain an overwhelming war response capability.
In 2018 and 2019, the relationship between South Korea and North Korea was so good, when Kim also met with the President of the United States, and a historic wave of reconciliation gave people the feeling that peaceful reunification was about to be made.
