In a radio Free Asia interview, Thae said: "I think the North Korean regime will never make it to the fourth generation with Kim Ju Ae." The North Korean regime has vehemently deteriorated in a turbulent and chaotic direction over the past decade since Kim Jong Un took power.' Thae said that there were ever-changing participants in military and government leadership, resulting in "no agreement or cooperation" between Kim Jong Un and the leaders surrounding him.
