Nevertheless, shortly ago, the south Korean military said that it would push ahead with the psychological warfare targeting the north, claiming "such warfare is different" from the above-said issue.

Moreover, the south Korean Ministry of Unification is more desperately resorting to the anti-DPRK human rights racket, asserting the issue of the "human rights records in the north" should be dealt with apart from the agreement.

Meanwhile, the conservative media are vying with each other to desperately kick up anti-DPRK smear campaign, hurting the broad-minded and generous measures taken by the DPRK to mend the north-south relations.

Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a commentary terms this an improper behavior of pouring cold water to all Koreans desirous of improvement of the inter-Korean relations.

The commentary goes on:

The behavior of the south Korean military to continue their "psychological warfare against the north" only brought into bolder relief its ulterior design to deteriorate the inter-Korean relations and escalate confrontation with the north.

The behavior of the Ministry of Unification to escalate its anti-DPRK smear campaign, clamoring for the non-existent "human rights issue" of someone, is also a revelation of such heinous intention.

The south Korean authorities are continuing words and deeds quite contrary to the agreement adopted at the north-south high-level contact while persisting in incoherent assertions. This can not be construed otherwise than an open declaration that they would escalate confrontation with the compatriots in the north by continuing slandering it.

If the south Korean authorities truly hope for the improvement of the inter-Korean relations, they should make a bold decision to stop at once the acts of slandering the other side, the acts of increasing misunderstanding and distrust and escalating confrontation and enmity.
