South Korea jails 68-year-old man for poem praising North Korea: Report
So they’re saying that the dude was praising North Korea because he wanted a united Korea that lives under Pyongang’s socialism, claiming that less people would be in debt and there’d be less suicide. Didn’t read the actual poem itself so idk if the dude was praising Kim Jeong Il or if he was just saying how cool it’d be to live under socialism.
I’m not quite sure how Korea is in general outside of “North bad, South good”, but it sort of sounds like South Korea is just practicing censorship here. Does South Korea have freedom of speech?
“North bad, South good”
You should know very well that it's not that simple with any regime the US props up. South Korea has been getting better, but it has a nasty history.
