uh quite a bit on social media in the last couple of days. Uh in fact, on Monday evening, we saw this meme of Kim Jong -un on the phone with the message, "Hey Donald, we cool, right?" I cannot imagine that going down well in Pyongyang, to be honest, cuzReally? over over there, it is unthinkable to put your leader in a meme or make any light of him. Uh
Honestly, we don't see evidence yet other than what President Trump has said. There's no public evidence of Kim Jong -un changing his approach toward the United States.The only thing that really has occurred over the course of the past 18 months in preparation for a possible engagement is
So what do you think? What is behind Donald Trump's anger with South Korea? Do he and Kim Jong -un really have a very good relationship? And if so, could that leadto peace on the Korean Peninsula? Write in the comments below. For the moment, it's goodbye from Berlin.
But we have not really dug into his relationship with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong -un. Uh Trump has said he has a very good relationship with the leader of North Korea and he has been posting uh quite a bit on social media in the last couple of days. Uh in fact, on Monday evening, we saw this meme of Kim
disappeared since that meeting and just never to be seen again. Uh because, you know, I think this was a moment where Kim Jong -un felt more embarrassed than ever in his life. Uh and I think he laid some of the blame on the South Koreans who were playing mediator in that whole event. So, uh you know, a few years down the line,
him. We heard there from the president saying um he has a very good relationship with Kim Jong -un. He described North Korea as unthreatening and respectful. Um you know, what do North Korea's recent actions kind of say about those claims from the president?
actually want that relationship with leaders like Putin, like Xiinping and you know and the way that he talks about Kim Jong -un and and he respects Kim Jong -un's power. So I think it's unclear in terms of US interests um what's actually the heart of this agenda and what would be on the table especially if
on denuclearization is currently being shunned at all counts by Pyongyang and Kim Jong -un. They also shun any even meetings for dialogue that they view as serving as a pretext for eventual denuclearization of North Korea. And also at the same time due to
And look at this whole thing with the two-- I call it the two hairdos, two hairdo confrontation. Kim Jong -Un with his dark, little whatever that is, little mountain, and then the guy with the fox who bit him on the head, the wild fox. That's not my joke.
adding that he wasn't happy with the drills because of his very good relationship with the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Mr. Trump told reporters that Kim Jong Un had responded to his message and claimed the situation was becoming much safer through their relationship. Kim Jong Un has always treated me with great respect.
Well, um thanks for having me on, Carl, um today. Um I think this is a pretty direct suggestion that Trump wants to re-engage with Kim Jong Un. He probably sees his um this is a bit of unfinished business from his first term. So, clearly this was um designed to draw Kim back into talks with him.
Korean soldiers taking part. But President Trump in a lengthy post on social media said, "Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong -un of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has long ago agreed to participate in joint military exercises. These exercises are not only costly, but send a signal that is
It didn't take long for Mr. Trump to tweet his response. He said Kim Jong Un of North Korea who is obviously a madman who doesn't mind starving or killing his people will be tested like never before.
complained about the cost of the defense cooperation with Seoul while praising his personal relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Japan's defense minister stressed that strong alliances with the US were critical for security.
course um Trump in his his tweet on on Truth his post on Truth Social talked about how he has a good relationship with Kim Jong -un and how um this sends the wrong signals to North Korea um you know to do these large-scale exercises um and that it's you know overly provocative in that measure. But then he
ever since uh the Lee administration has taken office. Um they've always pushed for a dialogue between uh the Trump administration and uh Kim Jong -un's regime, um ex- exercising uh the uh {quote} phrase that they will be a peacemaker um for um the US-DPRK dialogue. Uh
I'll throw a couple more questions and let the audience participate I learned that you are working on a new book about "Gwan-jong " In fact, speaking of Gwan-jong , Google operates YouTube so, to attract more content creators we have done some rigorous studies and research
And there seems to be two cases of discovering their "Gwan-jong "-ness One, discovering as they create their contents Or, they were aware of their trait and used it to create various contents So we realized "Gwan-jong " is not strictly a bad trait since it allows them to be more willing and open to sharing information In that regard, we do agree that it's a trending keyword I was curious How you came upon the keyword, How you are collecting data and information,
and what your expectations or outcomes are For now, I can clearly say I am thinking of writing two books The one about "Gwan-jong " will be titled "Elements of Gwan-jong " I'm working on it In all honestly, I am not trying to write about it only because it's trendy and a hot key word I originally had a book I want to write
I have had repetitive routine for the last decade pretty much. Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin, company works, TV shows and a bit of parenting jobs·This is what I have been doing for last 10 years. I was connected to you via Youtube by subscribing Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin. You just began a solo broadcast titled as Talgokki .
Some made big hits while other did not, but it did not matter. Because Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin itself has gained attractions and the public started to wonder how I can possibly release new song every month. Then I thought it might worth capturing how I produce my music ? from inspiration to output. That is how Talgokki started.
I gave up spending two years for new albums. Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin was my last resort and the key was that I was consistent over three years. I advise other musician not to make things complicated when his career starts to be blurry.
Any other question? I told you that my followers are male. Women are not interested in me. Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin receives collaboration requests from companies three times a year.
And then there were two others after me, before Obama. That's what Kim Jong Un proposes to do if he's about to be attacked.
Yeah. I think a lot of them already got shown somehow from that. And that's Kim Jong -il flowers because all of the great leaders have flowers invented for them.
--but that's not so. now that Kim Jong Un is in state?
He would have known that if he had Googled it. His name is Kim Jong -un.
prison for anything as minor as singing a South Korean pop song or sitting on a newspaper photo of Kim Jong -il accidentally and U they North Korea practices something called Collective punishment whereby they'll th send three generations of a family to prison for the crimes uh the quote unquote crimes
Well, it's difficult to understand exactly what prompted Mr. Trump to focus on North Korea suddenly. He claimed that he has a great relationship with Kim Jong -un and this is partly why he is suspending uh the the exercise with South Korea. But we haven't seen any for example letters or communication happening between the two countries. Uh
already claimed that he had brought peace to multiple conflicts around the world. And, you know, if he somehow negotiates another meeting with Kim Jong -un, this could be a good uh kind of a photo opportunity, as well. But, I think there is also this narrative in Washington, D.C. that South
since the collapse in 2019 of Jong -un's high-profile diplomacy with Trump during
Hanoi or afterwards um really soured the relationship between them. Um you have seen um North Korea and Kim Jong -un since then um refrain from saying very negative things about the US and it has essentially left the door open to if
meaning of the exercises. So he um can continue with the exercises and at the same time signaling to Kim Jong -un, I'm ready to talk. I'm ready to to offer you something. Um so please uh uh uh follow suit and uh provide some positive
In mid 2000s, we were able to fight back and illegal music streaming started to decrease replaced by multiple platforms. I kicked-off Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin in 2010, but it almost took 3-4 years to turn my consideration into action. For example back in 90s, I spent two years to make new album, which normally would stay in the market for next 6-12 months.
Who knew that negotiating with Kim Jong -un might turn out to be complicated?
Yeah. I think a lot of them already got shown somehow from that. And I got taken to Kim Jong -il flower exhibition, where I was given an explanation about every single of those displays, which I think might sound really fascinating.
Yeah. I think a lot of them already got shown somehow from that. Every surface has those Kim Jong -il stuff carved directly on the surface of the mountain.
Yeah. I think a lot of them already got shown somehow from that. And so those are Kim Jong -il Kim Il-sung sayings, whatever they said, which often like, our country's the greatest.
We will treat them as just strangers. And uh there was a surprise meeting with Kim Jong -un uh the same year, later that year, in the Panmunjom. This is where the the North and South Korea shares a border.
reporters that Kim Jong Un had responded to his message and claimed the situation was becoming much safer through their relationship. Kim Jong Un has always treated me with great respect. And we met on numerous occasions, actually, two primary occasions. Spoken.
shipbuilding, for example. Um but I think that for President Trump, this is very personal. He has almost a sentimental view um of his time with Kim Jong -un before, and I think he is looking for this to be part of his legacy um as he faces his last 2 years in office.
Trump administration in the context of efforts by President Trump to engage uh with North Korea and to prepare to meet uh Kim Jong Un. Uh and in fact uh the scaling down of military exercises in the first administration came
this instance this appears to have come out of nowhere, and subsequently we we learn that this appears to be a prelude uh uh to perhaps reopening uh uh talks with Kim Jong Un. So so the rest of us were caught completely uh off guard.
exercises unquote and has instructed his officials to do so. Now Trump you'll remember of course has history with Kim Jong -un during his first time he became the first sitting US president to meet a North Korean leader and said talks were better than anybody could imagine. And after that initial 2018 meeting the US scaled back
battle for the first time is two completely different things, and I think that's what South Korea is currently very much coming to terms with. Aside from that, Kim Jong -un also met Donald Trump three times in 2018-2019 during Trump's first. Those talks are focused on denuclearization, but that didn't really
lead anywhere. What has Kim Jong -un been trying to do since then? Yeah, so the Kim Jong -un of 2018 is a very different Kim Jong -un of 2026. As as we've mentioned, Kim Jong -un has led the four in having a fresh new
So, is Kim Jong -un going to take the olive branch or continue to leverage its relationship with Russia, having become a nuclear-capable nation, one with
Google operates YouTube so, to attract more content creators we have done some rigorous studies and research And there seems to be two cases of discovering their "Gwan-jong "-ness One, discovering as they create their contents Or, they were aware of their trait and used it to create various contents So we realized "Gwan-jong " is not strictly a bad trait since it allows them to be more willing and open to sharing information
As such, we don't appreciate people who are uncertain and shady So I looked deeper into those people In that regard, Gwan-jong is Or, I think everyone is ultimately Gwan-jong In a sense that we all need and want attention I just had my second daughter a month ago, I didn't give birth, my wife did
I declared myself to release new music on a consistent basis regardless of its public success. That is how I ended up kicking off Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin in 2010. I announced to release a new music every month whether the public likes it or not, which might sound hysterical.
