North Korean state media called South Korean National Assembly member Thae Yong-ho “hideous human trash” on Thursday, once again making several unfounded allegations that the defector-turned-politician is a serious criminal.
The long-winded rant, published in North Korea’s Uriminzokkiri propaganda website, bashed a North Korean defector referred to as “Thae” by calling him “perverted” and “disgusting.”
Though Thae Yong-ho was not explicitly mentioned by his full name, the article referred to this defector as a member of South Korea’s National Assembly — and Thae is one of two defectors to have been elected to an assembly seat this April.
