Kim has also offered analysis to news organisations about current affairs in North Korea. During the [[2013 Korean crisis]], Kim suggested on Australian television that North Korean leader [[Kim Jong Un]] was too young and inexperienced, was "struggling to gain complete control over the military and to win their loyalty." She also commented that he was "using the nuclear programme as a bargaining chip for aid, to keep the public behind him."<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/world/kim-jongun-struggling-former-north-korean-spy-20130410-2hlwx.html Kim Jong-un 'struggling': former North Korean spy], ''[[Sydney Morning-Herald]]'', 10 April 2013</ref>

In an interview with BBC, Kim said that North Korea just pretended to be friendly on the issue of the [[2018 Winter Olympics]], and its priority still is the [[List of nuclear weapons tests of North Korea|nuclear programme]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Winter Olympics: Friendly North Korea 'is fake', says former bomber|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/av/42940993/winter-olympics-friendly-north-korea-is-fake-says-former-bomber|access-date=7 February 2018|publisher=BBC|date=5 February 2018}}</ref>
