In my complete lack of knowledge of SK politics it appears to be an unpopular president accused of corruption trying to stay in power to avoid… The said corruption chargers
Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK?
I’m definitely not saying it’s a common thing at all but US and western media really, super play up the image of the DPRK and the tension on the peninsula.
They ran Kim Jae-Yeon for president. She once said:
On 4 June 2012 during an interview with KBS, the emcee asked her to confirm her view towards North Korea. She answered, “If a person does not want to recognise North Korean regime, it means that he/she wants a war with them”. When the emcee also asked about what if North Korea attacks the South, she replied, “Still, we should not fight back.”
She received 37 thousand votes. Not a lot, but they do exist.
Any more left than them tend to get banned under “National Security” laws.
I mean, isn’t she just saying it doesn’t make sense to fight back since that could lead to war with a nuclear power?
Idk seems like the thing a smarter Israel would’ve said, and Hamas never even had nukes.
That said, I can totally see how a more ignorant voter could be convinced that is supportive of NK. Just seems like some animal farm shit. Like, “Snowball is all-powerful and we must be ready to give up everything you hold dear to fight!”
Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK?
They have been separated from their families by a military occupation from people thousands of miles away who drew an arbitrary border and put them under a dictatorship with the most brutal fascists the local population could produce. There’s a reason in America they call it “the forgotten war”. It’s real bad what went down there and there’s no moral equivalence with the two different sides.
Are the pro-NK folks in the room with us now?
Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK? That seems ridiculous. Does that guy just really want to start a war with NK or smth?

Yeah, that’s how I’m interpreting it as well, but I could be a bit biased given the fact it seems to be going on everywhere

Yes, but the people Yoon is going after are not actually NK supporters
