Minju Joson Sunday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

This is a hysteric row kicked up by those hell-bent on escalating confrontation with fellow countrymen.

As already known to the world, it is quite natural that singer Sin posted an article titled "Congratulations" on his internet homepage at a time when compatriots at home and abroad have sincerely rejoiced over the DPRK's successful satellite launch.

What the above-said organizations did can be done only by those who have wicked disposition of categorically opposing anything done by compatriots.

It is needless to say that the Lee Myung Bak group was behind the above-said organizations. As a matter of fact, the prosecution instructed the "first department of the security" to handle this case, as if it had been waiting for the above-said action.

The Lee group has cracked down upon anyone desirous of the reconciliation and unity of the nation and the country's reunification on charges of violation of the treacherous and anti-reunification "NSL" and turned south Korea into a graveyard of human rights where elementary freedom of the speech is suppressed by mobilizing all the ultra right-wing conservative organizations, prosecution, the "Grand National Party" and conservative media.

It will be as clear as noonday that the south Korean people will have to suffer more unbearable misfortune and pain than now if the Lee group's fascist suppression is overlooked.

It is possible to achieve the independence and democracy of the south Korean society and the country's reunification, peace and prosperity, the desire of the nation, only when the group of the traitors are kicked out to the U.S. and Japan, their masters.
