  A few days ago, Yun Seok-yol, one of the opposition People's Power Party's candidates for the next presidency spoke in praise of Chun Doo-hwan who had seized power by military coup and suppressed Gwangju popular uprising brutally.   The ruling Democratic Party demanded Yun apologize to the spirit of fallen Gwangju uprisers and people in Jeolla province for insulting them. Yun wants to be a Public Prosecutor General of "Chun's government". It is intolerable dictatorial idea, the Justice Party reprimanded. It is so ridiculous that Yun, such a foolish guy lack of common sense is dreaming about the presidency. He must make an apology to south Koreans and withdraw candidacy for the next presidency, the presidential candidate in the PPP censured. Yun, who covered Chun, a ringleader of May 18 popular uprising massacre and made absurd remarks insulting people in Jeolla province must apology, the civil organizations denounced through a statement.   Yun is in trouble with

  The South Korean authorities plan to stage Ulchi-Taegeuk maneuvers for three days from 27 to 29 of October. Why on earth are they going to start a joint military drill with the militia to cope with emergency such as wartime and terror at this point of time when the situation in the Korean peninsula is instable and covid-19 is worsening? The present south Korean authorities have now revealed that peace and reconciliation much touted by them whenever an opportunity presented itself were just a wordplay. They are acting as if people are exposed to danger saying that the drill is to cope with the threat to come. It is nothing but open challenge to equitable demand and stand of the north. Ulchi-Taegeuk military drill is a concentrated expression of the hostile intention toward the fellow countrymen and a military provocation escalating tension on the Korean peninsula on purpose. The war game deteriorating the situation in the Korean peninsula and breaking the peace can never be tolerated.

  Japanese Prime Minister revealed his intention to have capability to assault the enemy's bases a few days ago. Japan ties up a huge amount of funds in development of cutting-edge weapon on the pretext of having capability to assault enemy's bases, which runs counter to the principle that defense capacity is appealed to only when being attacked by the enemy, the press said. To have capability to assault the enemy's bases is nothing different from declaration to engage in the Far Eastern strategy of the US, the Japan's act escalating tension in the area will meet with strong opposition from the international society, the experts surveyed. Broad segments of people including civic organizations condemn that Japan disclosed again its wild ambition of reinvasion to realize the old dream of "the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" by building a military power and the Japs remain unchanged in their very nature.

  Some days ago, a member of the organization against Japan's sexual crime expressed that Japan ought to make an apology and assume full responsibility for its war crimes. He exposed that newly-appointed Japanese Prime Minister offered tributes to Yaskuni Shrine on Oct.17 through his face book and condemned that Japan had no intention to apology for its past crimes. The Japanese Prime Minister made absurd remarks to evade judgment of the south Korean Supreme Court on indemnity for labor conscription forced by the Japanese Imperialist and comfort woman. The war crimes committed by Japan including sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army go against the international principle of human rights and law and it has no statute of limitations, he noted. He demanded the Japanese authorities admit its crimes and should make sincere attitude toward its past crime.

  The north demands that the south Korean authorities have to change its confrontational and habitual attitude toward the north. It is righteous demand based on correct assessment of the present situation of the Korean peninsula and the deteriorated inter-Korean relations. As reported, military stability in the region of the Korean peninsula is being aggravated day by day, due to different military drills and arms buildup against the north have been conducted by the US and south Korea regardless of time.   The south Korean army running amuck on military drills against the north       The south Korean people censuring military drills against the north   The south Korean authorities must change its confrontational and habitual attitude toward the north. This is an important task to be settled beforehand in order to warm the present cooled-off relations. The south Koran authorities must withdraw the partial view, unfair and double-dealing attitude and hostile viewpoint and policies toward

  The Korean nation wishes for improvement of the inter-Korean ties and peace and coexistence on the Korean peninsula. It is important that the south Korean authorities withdraw the unjust double attitude. The unjust double attitude of the south Korean authorities deteriorates the inter-Korean relations into catastrophe.   The south Korean authorities are enthused over arms buildup and block "north Korea's deterrence" spouting a string of rubbish "provocation by the north". Trust building between the north and south and mending the inter-Korea relations cannot be expected without withdrawal of the double attitude of the south Korean authorities. It is quite natural that the north demand south Korean authorities withdraw the hostile policy against the north and stop arms buildup to establish the trust for mending the inter-Korean ties.

  Of late, the south Korean people unleash their wrath on the US forces in south Korea as 2 GIS at the US military base in Pyeongtaek committed an outrage to a south Korean and broke down his car. The US soldiers assaulted south Korean driver and threw bottle of wine at a car. The US army in south Korea have committed an outrage on south Koreans in May and June before this. The US forces in south Korea has committed crimes for over 70 years since it occupied south Korea. However, the present south Korean authorities have not made thoroughgoing investigation into its crimes and punished, bound by unequal joint commission of the SOFA. On the contrary, they ask for stationing of the US troops in south Korea offering blood tax screwed out of the south Korean people. As long as the US and pro-US boot licking elements stay in south Korea, the national sovereignty cannot be defended and misfortune and pain can never be mitigated. It is very important to drive out foreign forces and liquidate

  Ever-increasing scandals within the south Korean army arouse public criticism. Sexual violence within the military followed one after another this year alone. Two out of five committed suicide after suffering sexual harassment by their seniors. Nearly 76 percent murdered themselves to evade the violence inflicted upon them, and its rate is rising year after year. Moreover, decampments caused by maladjustment to military service are prevalent in the army. The military is rife with corruption such as bribery overlooking inferior equipment made by a private enterprise. Meanwhile, pollution in army posts is so high and living conditions including drinking water and meals are so poor that many suffer from ill health. Residents are under constant threat of expired equipment and worn-out magazine neglected for more than 30 years, which may go off  at any moment. There is really no end to the list of such disgusting state of the army. It is not too much to say that the south Korean army is a

 The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),the  British Group for the Study of the  Juche Idea (BGSJI ), the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee For Peace and Reunification(BSCPRKP)  issued a joint statement supporting the historic speech by the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, "On the Orientation of Present Struggle for a Fresh Development of Socialist Construction" which was made to 5th Session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK. The statement said: Marshal Kim Jong Un' s policy speech is a deeply significant one that clarifies the lines and policies of the DPRK government on key internal and external matters. Moreover in the speech the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un gave the most positive and upbeat assessment of the situation and prospects of the DPRK which cut through the propaganda of the hostile forces which has falsely portrayed the DPRK as being in crisis or near to collapse.  Since the h

  On June 5, 2008, Chairman Kim Jong Il visited the Taedongmun Cinema. He was very happy to see the splendidly renovated cinema. But he stopped in front of a staircase in the lobby leading to the auditorium. He pointed out that it was wrong to connect the lobby and the auditorium with a staircase. The officials were at a loss. It was natural, they thought, to set up a staircase as the auditorium was on a higher position. He said to them, “Among the visitors to the cinema there may be many elderly and children. If they miss their footing on the stairs, they may fall down and suffer injuries. The cinema should be laid out also for the convenience of the elderly and children.” Afterwards, the staircase disappeared to be replaced by a slope way with a gentle gradient.

  The “National Action for Abolition of NSL” launches grand march for abolition of the National Security Law touring different parts of south Korea from Oct. 5 to 15. The members in grand march expressed their will to work hard to build up public opinion on abolition of NSL through the grand march saying that they are sure to abolish the NSL which is the anti-democracy, anti-humanity and anti-reunification law. The members in grand march held the slogans “abolish the NSL”    

      Of late, the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration and Overseas Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration demanded suspension of south Korea-US joint military game and confrontational arms buildup in online and offline meeting.    Meanwhile, the military drill “Teak Knife” conducted by No. 320 special operation battalion of the US army sparked off surging indignation of the south Koreans.    The hard-core combat power of the US army had a mastery of night infiltration as a part of “beheading operation” and made public it exceptionally. It is provocation against the north, the mass media and the civil organizations expressed their uneasiness.    They reprimanded double-faced and cheeky acts of the US, paying lip-service to non-hostile intention against north Korea and dialogue without precondition and derail the situation of the Korean peninsula and get wild on the military confrontation against north Korea afterwards.

     Yun Seok-yol of the People’s Power Party is being disgraced for his endless ridiculous remarks and manners.    Some days ago he showed his left palm marked with the letter 王 (king) in the presence of people.                                             His behavior laid him open to public censure again.    He must be so desperate for the presidency to wave his hand with letter "king" in public; it makes me speechless to accept that such a guy should be a candidate for presidency, a resident deplored.    In the meantime some evaluate Yun' s act as superstition.    A person who mistakes president as a king is in the lead in the PPP, I almost feel sorry for them, a reserved candidate said in scorn.    A believer in superstition is a loser in election, a reserved candidate of the PPP jeered.    Yun is an illiterate not knowing the ABC of politics, due treatment for a power-hungry guy, serves him right, broad spectrum of south Koreans denounce.

     Scandals of sons of Gwak Sang-do and Chang Je-won, the members of the leading conservative opposition, People’s Power Party were revealed to give rise to public criticism.    Son of Gwak received five billion won (about five million dollars) of retirement benefits from a real estate company and son of Chang is a habitual criminal who indulged in child sexual abuse, drunken driving and outrage on policeman, and was apt to be rough of speech.    Gwak and Chang censured severely the members of the ruling party for their sons’ faults in the past.    On the contrary, they are cursed by the enraged public for their sons were implicated in a crime.    The mass media and people cast ridicule upon them:    He who digs a pit for others falls into it.                                                            Gwak Sang-do(left) and Chang Je-won(right), the members of National Assembly                                                        A girl student launches one-man demonstration in dema

     Voices in praise of the Workers’ Party of Korea which takes the responsibility for its people’s destiny and takes warm care of them reverberate in south Korea.    The people are certain to follow a party that works hard for their interests.  The WPK enjoys absolute support and trust from the people for it has pursued politics for the people. The north always achieves successes in the face of pressure of imperialism because the party believes in the people, and vice versa, a professor of the Seoul National University said to his students.    I keenly felt that all the people in north Korea call and regard the WPK as their mother because it embraces their people as sons and daughters and bestows everything for the good of them, a company employee in Busan commented after watching a north Korean documentary when he was working abroad.    The WPK translates dreams and ideals of youth into reality by attaching importance to youth so the young men of the north go through fire and water
