SEOUL: The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un slammed South Korean “scum” on Sunday for launching anti-regime propaganda leaflets across the border via balloon, warning they would pay “a very high price”.
The Korean peninsula has seen tit-for-tat balloon campaigns in recent weeks, with Pyongyang floating trash-filled balloons southward in protest of ones carrying propaganda leaflets sent northward by South Korean activists.
Kim Yo Jong, a key regime spokesperson, said she was informed the latest batch of “dirty leaflets and things of the ROK scum” had been found in North Korean territory along the border, according to a statement carried in English by the official Korean Central News Agency.
ROK is an abbreviation of South Korea´s official name.
North Korean military personnel were “now making an all-out search, throwing into fire and disposing of the found rubbishes”, she said.
“Despite the repeated warnings of the DPRK, the ROK scum are not stopping this crude and dirty play,” she added, using the initials of the North´s official name.
“The ROK clans will be tired from suffering a bitter embarrassment and must be ready for paying a very high price.”
