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
Your “complete lack of knowledge” is apparently more than sufficient for you to see (kind of) what’s going on here. Have you ever considered inventing “psychic punditry”? We’ll ask you questions about things you know nothing about and you’ll give us answers. Kerching, all the way to the bank.
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.
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.
Last government talked about reunification the same way US talks about a 2 state solution in Israel. He talked about this without occupying US approval as a long term goal. Yoon is full US puppet that wants war. Logic is similar to everyone who thinks a war on Russia is a bad idea can only be paid by Putin.
Other comments touched on it, but it makes more sense to look at them as pro reunification rather than pro NK. They’re still nutty, but not quite as nutty as being pro NK. This is the same group desperately trying to downplay NK involvement in Russias invasion of Ukraine because calling it what it is might damage chances at reunification.
For those out of the loop: What is going on in South Korea? Asking for a friend.

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

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

What are the benefits that come from unification, like for the SK people, other than just helping the struggling NK people?
Families were split apart
