I just can’t understand why South Koreans who ostensibly support the idea a free society so fundamentally misunderstand that idea. Rather than make free-speech martyrs out of imbeciles, wouldn’t it make more sense to engage in the war of ideas on both sides of the DMZ? Are they really so afraid that a majority of South Koreans are going to prostrate themselves toward Pyongyang? Is such a majority even capable of self-government anyway? Are they really so afraid to speak honestly to the North Korean people? Wouldn’t that entire issue be resolved soon enough if South Korea did more to broadcast alternative viewpoints and forbidden truths into North Korea?
