The lectures focus on South Korea&#8217;s candlelight protests while condemning Yoon and his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a source in the province recently, the lectures were first delivered to officials at all major provincial agencies and first-grade enterprises on the morning of Oct. 8, with the same lectures to be conducted to all worker organizations such as local branches of the Socialist Patriotic Youth League and Socialist Women&#8217;s Union of Korea through Nov. 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officials from provincial, city and county party committees deliver the lectures in person. The Oct. 8 lecture began with the speaker telling audiences that \u201ccandlelight demonstrations are held every Saturday in puppet South Korea\u201d and that \u201cworkers, farmers, young people, university students and opposition party supporters call for Yoon\u2019s overthrow in these demonstrations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lecturer continued: \u201cYoon is the ringleader who oversaw the ruin of livelihoods and who exposed South Korea to the risk of war. The South Korean people, who oppose the Korean Peninsula being swept up in war, are holding candlelight marches while coming together in a mass movement calling for the puppet Yoon and his wife Kim Keon-hee to be ripped limb from limb.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lecturer spent most of the time blasting the South Korean president. \u201cYoon, who tricked the people to become president by acting as if were a just and fair prosecutor, has now abandoned justice and common sense and is trying to cover up his wife\u2019s corruption,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe puppet Yoon is preparing to send the people\u2019s precious sons to the Russia-Ukraine war, and puppet South Korea has now made its intention to dispatch troops to war a public fact,\u201d the lecturer continued. \u201cWe, too, are thinking what to do at the state level to support our Russian brothers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While North Korea has indeed dispatched troops to aid Russia in its conflict, the lecturer failed to acknowledge this fact and instead criticized a fictitious deployment of South Korean soldiers to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStorm clouds are gathering above the Korean Peninsula, but the puppet Yoon administration will soon face ruin through impeachment,\u201d the lecturer said. \u201cRemember that the historic opportunity to unite with South Korea\u2019s patriotic people and complete the occupation of the national territory is approaching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith the political situation worsening, you must stay alert with your usual attitude,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, immediately after the lecture concluded, a few officials quietly remarked on the state of democracy in South Korea, where individuals have the freedom to express their political views.<\/p>\n<p>The officials noted that in South Korea, it&#8217;s possible to rip up a photograph of the president and openly criticize him, or even protest and seek impeachment if the president commits wrongdoing, the source said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Daily NK works with a network of sources in North Korea, China, and elsewhere.
