Rodong posts pictures of gifts from S. Korea

One gift came from real estate company later caught up in classified information scandal

North Korean state media have revealed pictures of gifts that North Korean leaders have received from foreign countries, including a South Korean real estate firm whose head was recently arrested for passing secrets to the North.

In fact, of the eight pictures the Rodong Sinmun posted, four were from South Korea, and they include a picture of a North Korean marathoner from the then-vice president of SK Telecom in 2002, a hand fan with a picture of a tiger on it from the CEO of Korea Land, mobile phones from the VK Corporation and a jewel box from a head of LJ Film.
