The Lee group has defamed without hesitation the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, instead of making an apology for the high treason it committed before the nation grieving over the greatest loss, a bylined commentary says, and goes on:

The army and the people of the DPRK regard the dignity of the supreme leadership more valuable than their own lives.

They have never pardoned those who hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership. Those who hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK should be made to pay a high price with their lives. This is an invariable will cemented in the hearts of the army and the people of the DPRK.

It is natural that the Lee group pays a high price as it has lost qualification to live under the same sky for its hideous provocation

What should not be overlooked is that the group of traitors' hideous provocation is committed when Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills are under way.

The nuclear war exercises against the north push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war. The hideous provocation openly committed by the group of traitors getting on the nerves of the DPRK is aimed to lure the DPRK into making military counteraction and create "security crisis". This is, at the same time, aimed to divert elsewhere the people's resentment before the "parliamentary" election in April in a bid to tide over the ruling crisis and realize its ambition for invading the north with the help of outside forces.

The successive fascist dictators of south Korea have used the confrontation with compatriots as a tool for tiding over the ruling crisis. But, no one made such a desperate effort to defame the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK as Lee did, because they knew that defaming the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK would lead them to risking their lives.

The army and the people of the DPRK will make the group of traitors, going reckless unaware of such a reason, pay a dear price. We never make an empty talk.
