S.Korean poem criticized for praising N. Korean leader

Poem's provocative but deceptive title continues to generate heat more than four decades later

The South Korean webpage "Stop and See," which uploads different kinds of Korean poems has attracted controversy for uploading a sensational work of Kim Soo-young, whose title at first glance praises North Korean national founder Kim Il Sung.

NK News made contact with the owner of website, who declined to provide further comment as they were facing “pressure to publicly comment on this issue.”
