주요내용 Earlier this year, South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-Yeol said his country could build nuclear weapons if the security situation with North Korea continues to get worse. Amid increased weapons testing by North Korea, his statement was the first time this option has been discussed at the presidential level and is one of the most direct references to Seoul’s growing consideration of a nuclear future. Yoon’s remarks were unprecedented and spoke to the strong public sentiment in favor of South Korea having independent nuclear forces. That said, studies show that South Koreans are also confident that the United States will make good on its nuclear commitments, which undergird its alliance with South Korea. Moreover, South Korean officials walked back Yoon’s comments, arguing that, if necessary, US nuclear weapons can be used against North Korea.
