During class on Thursday, we were discussing the South Korean government's view on the North Korean government, and how the movie JSA depicts the idea of neutrality when considering which side is to blame for Korea's division. As Professor Larsen indicated, this idea from the South Korean government and its people is revolutionary.
This is an article that conveys this idea. I have highlighted segments of the article and posted them below:
"Korea’s 2004 defense white paper will be published and distributed in mid-January next year, three months later than originally scheduled."
"The white paper is a low-level document on national security strategies, strongly hinting at the possibility of replacing the main enemy description."
"Presidential security adviser Kwon Jin-ho said at a parliamentary inspection on Oct. 22 that a definition of our main enemy narrowly means the North Korean leadership and its military
followers and that he wanted to define the North as a main threat, instead of as the main enemy."
