Lee Ho Ryung is a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for Defence Analyses (KIDA), where she focuses on North Korea's military capabilities and the implications for regional security. Recently, she has been featured in discussions regarding North Korea's evolving nuclear strategy, particularly in light of Kim Jong-un's declarations about expanding the country's nuclear arsenal and the constitutional changes that solidify his control over these forces. Lee's insights emphasize that denuclearization is no longer a realistic prospect for North Korea, suggesting that both Washington and Seoul may need to shift their strategies towards arms control rather than complete disarmament.
