More North South Friction

Yikes. Despite efforts to instill more unity between the two Koreas, leaders still make some mistakes... and those mistakes set off back and forth confrontations/ insults :( oh nationalism...

Today, because a South Korean GNP leader sat down at a shrine dedicated to Kim Il Sung and terribly insulted North Korean leaders, he was banned from a unity gathering in the People's Palace of Culture. And now South Koreans are making statements and sticking by their official, setting off more complaints from both sides...

This is unfortunte to see, but I assume tiffs like this are pretty frequent in this tense relationship.
