How about '강제 연행' then? I like the sound of that more anyway. So NK wants to stop people using the word ‘납치’? How about ‘강제 연행’ then? I like the sound of that more anyway.

People will take back the government from these pro-north "Sunburnt" politicians pretty soon.

There is no peace process here worthy of the name. This is another typical tantrum the underscores that North Korea is fundamentally incapable of change.

A few meetings between several hundred very old people and even that doesn't always go smoothly, as we see here. A decrease in human rights violations? Yeah, right, from absolutely ghoulish to merely hideous. Why not just ignore the North completely and go about doing business with China, Japan, the US (while shoring up the military)? Leave the ball in the North's court. If they want help, they have to come to the South, not the other way around. And if they pull their usual temper tantrums and other stunts, just hang up the phone and continue to ignore them.
