"Pro-North Korean regime organizations also will disseminate leaflets. They ought to capture the reality of defector organizations that distribute leaflets and send them to the North. Like them, we will attach leaflets about defector organizations to hydrogen balloons and send them to the North."

As the scattering of leaflets by defector organizations becomes a major issue, the possibility that pro-North Korea figures will send leaflets containing critical messages about defector organizations to the North has generated significant interest.

Kim Young Man (65), who led the Public Statement of Affairs for the Normalization of Inter-Korea Relations by "615 Persons in the South Gyeongsang Province" and is the permanent representative of the South Gyeongsang Province headquarters of the June 15 Joint Declaration Realization Committee in South Korea, maintained in an interview with "OhmyNews" on the 4th that, "The people who scatter leaflets in the North are those who are misusing the tragic division of Korea."

He said, "Our organizations opposing them will produce leaflets that disclose their activities and send them also to the North."

He also insisted, "People who have seen the leaflets that they have sent to the North will think that all South Koreans think this way. So we want to convey the reality that a majority of South Koreans want peaceful unification and that our people do not think that the leaflets that have been distributed by defectors organizations are ideal."

He then said, "We cannot disclose the specific time we will send them at this time. Even if legal issues result and our reputation is damaged due to the contents, we will do this for the future of the 70 million of our nation."

Putting the conclusion first, we are welcoming the fact that the pro-North regime organizations deliver leaflets to North Korea.

Although North Korea civilians cannot speak their minds publicly, the thing that they most long for may be peaceful unification. How they would be delighted if leaflets with the very same wish from South Korean’s come to the North! Through these leaflets, even from pro-North regime organizations, North Koreans will feel a sort of solidarity with South Korea and have some faith that their South Korean brethren will rescue them from famine and rights violations.

The evaluation of which assertion is correct between the leaflets released by pro-North regime organizations and defectors organizations will be up to the North Korean people.

The thing North Korean people long for most is news from the outside world. Information on their Southern brethren is what the North Korean civilians most especially want to know. North Koreans are not stupid. According to defectors’ testimonies, in 1999, when Chosun (North Korea) Central TV displayed scenes of South Korean students’ demonstrations on TV, people paid more attention to clothes, shoes, accessories and students’ attitudes than they did to the interpretations of announcers. They also try to understand international affairs through interpreting international news on the fifth page of Rodong Shinmun (the newspaper published by the Party) in the opposite way of the newspaper’s presentation.

North Korean people can understand and correctly discern the truth from leaflets, wherever they were produced.
