Amid harsh criticism, the South Korean government has decided to push for a controversial move to thoroughly crack down on activists sending anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the border to North Korea.
South Korea’s Unification Ministry filed a police complaint against two defector groups on June 11 over leaflet launches, while the ruling Democratic Party of Korea vowed to introduce a tougher law to crack down on and punish those who send leaflets to the North.
Seoul’s move is widely seen as a response to Pyongyang’s latest threat to scrap a military agreement with South Korea and close down a cross-border liaison office. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader, specifically cited anti-Pyongyang leaflets as an issue.
It is 2020 referring to a leader from 2000 as being "stronger" seems like a reference to the "good old days".
