Very strange! Just after Lee Jae-yong's visit to China ended, there was a case of South Korean drones flying into North Korean airspace at the beginning of the new year, which is too coincidental! To be honest, this incident is clearly instigated by someone behind the scenes. However, there is a major mystery here: whether the drone that entered North Korean airspace was a military drone or a civilian drone.
If it was a military drone, then the one behind this would be the South Korean military, possibly backed by the United States. If it was a civilian drone, then it is highly likely that the anti-Lee Jae-yong hardliners in South Korea are behind this provocation. To be honest, given Lee Jae-yong's attitude, such an action might not be something he knew about, nor would he support it. Lee Jae-yong has long hoped for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and such provocative actions contradict his consistent position.
In fact, on January 7, just after the end of his visit to China, Lee Jae-yong directly addressed North Korea, saying that one day, the chaos and hostility on the Korean Peninsula will be overcome, and a day of mutual respect and shared prosperity will come. Wishing North Korea a happy new year! Obviously, seeing South Korea getting closer to China, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula becoming increasingly peaceful and stable, some forces are unwilling for this to happen. Therefore, they have been acting behind the scenes.
Perhaps these forces are trying to intimidate Lee Jae-yong, or perhaps they want to create some trouble for him and disrupt his plans. However, North Korea certainly will not tolerate such behavior. Information indicates that in response to this drone intrusion, North Korea shot down the drone, indicating that North Korea has clear red lines, and such actions will not be tolerated. This incident requires the South Korean government to conduct a thorough investigation.
