According to the south Korean paper Kyunghyang Daily News on Feb. 24, Hyon In Thaek opened to diplomatic officials concerned the information concerning the DPRK-U.S. dialogue of which the U.S. secretly informed the south Korean authorities.

The U.S. government formally expressed discontent with this case through the U.S. embassy in Seoul.

Chongwadae also criticized Hyon for greatly displeasing the U.S. He was thus driven to a tight corner at home and abroad. To make matters worse, he is suspected of being a chieftain who cooked up "unconfirmed information about the north" and floated it among media.

Hyon is a notorious anti-reunification element and confrontation maniac as he put up watchwords "no nukes, opening and 3000 dollars" under the patronage of the U.S., thereby taking the lead in deteriorating the north-south relations and selling out the interests of the nation.

Much upset by the atmosphere of dialogue mounting on the Korean Peninsula, Hyon worked hard to chill it. His sinister intention is known as a hard fact even among the south Korean authorities. An official concerned of the south Korean authorities said a think tank in charge of diplomacy and security suspects that Minister Hyon spread information in a bid to influence public opinion when the situation on the Korean Peninsula moved toward an atmosphere of dialogue these days.

There are many instances in the world history in which those who worshipped America met miserable ends. Hyon is tight-cornered even among ruling quarters for displeasing his master by behaving against the trend of the times. This foretells the same fate awaits him.

He is in such wretched position that even the Chinese Defence Daily, Kyunghyang Daily News of south Korea, etc. ridiculed him as "atypical minister of Unification" and "amateur-like Hyon In Thaek".
