Puppet media of south Korea have condemned Yoon's visit as a humiliating one for igniting a war, during which he sold out all the national interests and brought to the Korean Peninsula and the region a new source of tensions escalation.

The south Korean paper Hangyore said that Yoon laid stress only on the strengthening of the alliance with the U.S. and the "extended deterrence", which triggered instability of the Korean Peninsula and the region and sparked off strong reaction and serious challenges from neighboring countries.

The paper noted that there is question as to whether Yoon, who accepted the confrontational international relations logic of the U.S., properly understands the present international political situation, and his acts will escalate the regional tensions.

It said that the most fatal of the results of the recent talks is that the Yoon's "government" acceded to the three-way cooperation between the U.S., south Korea and Japan or a quasi-alliance.

It described Yoon as "president of a different kind" deliberately worsening the unstable situation of the Korean Peninsula.

It said that not content with the hard-line "policy towards the north", Yoon is getting on the nerves of China and Russia and creating insecurity through his so-called "value-based diplomacy" alleged to keep pace with the U.S.

It noted that his behavior is too proactive and reckless to be seen owing to the U.S. pressure only and he looks even like a "new Cold War soldier" driving the world to the bloc confrontation dating back to the era of Cold War.

It went on:

We cannot but ask him whether he agonized over the danger, a result of his acts, which will face the south Korean people.

His true colors were betrayed during his visit to the U.S. Without hesitation, Yoon crossed the red line the preceding "governments" did not.

The "joint statement" fully reflects what the U.S. desires but no phrase consider the special conditions of south Korea created by the geopolitical nature of the Korean Peninsula.

The more the volume of chorus on the theme of "value-based alliance" grows, the more tensions on the Korean peninsula will escalate in proportion to it. The U.S. will come up with the need of the alliance-level U.S.-south Korea-Japan military and political cooperation under the pretext of that "value." What will south Korea get from it Is it overwhelming military edge over the north Yoon Suk Yeol's "government" argues that it is possible but this is only political rhetoric. No matter what strong "extended deterrence" is obtained, it is impossible to subdue the north in the light of its nature and international dynamics. On the contrary, it seems that south Korea would be explicitly exposed to security and economic losses. Peace on the Korean Peninsula will be faced with a bigger challenge and its aftershock will further imperil security to batter the south Korean economy.

It is clearly visible that Yoon gave something to the U.S. during his visit to it but what he got from it is invisible.

As a result, Yoon's visit ended in futile. His motorcade was long but neither interests nor future could be noticed. Wrinkles of our business would as ever get deeper and tensions escalate on the Korean Peninsula due to the restriction imposed by the U.S.

Noting that Yoon stressed the "value-based diplomacy" in his talks with Biden during his trip to the U.S. and his address to the U.S. Congress and on other high-profile occasions, siding with the U.S. while touching on the issue of relations with the U.S. and on such sensitive international affairs as the Taiwanese and Ukrainian issues, Yonhap News blamed him for creating an environment for inviting severer precautions from the countries opposed to the U.S. It also recalled that China urged him to be "careful about his words and deeds ", warning him not to "step far and far a wrong and risky way," adding his anxiety over how to manage the relations with China and Russia is growing.

An editorial board member was quoted by the news as saying:

Yoon has gone so foolish as to subordinate the south Korean economy to security haunted by the idea of strong "alliance" with the U.S. He is only working with bloodshot eyes to maintain his power by depending on the U.S.

The U.S. is a country apt to forsake its ally anytime to fulfill its own interests. But Yoon, already hit hard by his humiliating diplomacy with Japan, kept mum about the U.S. eavesdropping but supported the U.S., thus seriously impairing the self-esteem of the nation.

The public will be angered by his behavior of hiding himself behind the Yankees' hips in pursuit of his consolidated "power."

It was universally accepted that "summit talks" lead to skyrocketing approval rating of the ruling party but Yoon's foreign trip always backfires to cut it down.

Yoon had embarrassed the public with his frequent use of English in south Korea. Perhaps he thought that his English speech in the U.S. would earn him higher reputation but this is just a revelation of his sycophancy.

There is a saying that much noise and no substance. This exactly fits the south Korea-U.S. talks.

Imagine the one who cheers with a gorgeously decorated box with no contents.

A crow cannot be whiter for often washing. This is just the public mindset.

Kyunghyang Daily News in an editorial titled "Talks for expanding nuclear umbrella and sowing seed of 'one-way diplomacy'" noted:

Worrisome is the tendency to entrusting everything to the U.S. South Korea is getting more and more bound by the relations that it can not easily turn down any demand of the U.S.

Hankuk Ilbo commented as follows:

There is something that we cannot gloss over. The U.S. "welcome" is not something free. Yoon should pay heed to the widespread public concern that "warm reception" would be followed by a call for "payment", and see through the intention sought by the U.S. in the strengthened "economic security alliance" with south Korea.

Dong-A Ilbo carried an article recalling that the south Korean puppet presidential office came under fire for self-willed perception of the U.S.-suggested strengthening of the "extended deterrence", which magnified and exaggerated the meaning of the "Washington Declaration."

The article noted:

This reminds one of the time when Yoon was denied immediately by Biden for his slip of tongue about the debate on a "joint nuclear exercise" with the U.S. at the beginning of this year. It was just a tragicomedy produced by a mistake in the usage of terminology but this time his gaffe betrayed a stark difference in their understanding, resulting in shrinking the highlighted "success".
