For those out of the loop: What is going on in South Korea? Asking for a friend.

Are the pro-NK folks in the room with us now?
Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK? That seems ridiculous. Does that guy just really want to start a war with NK or smth?
I'm definitely not saying it's a common thing at all but US and western media really, super play up the image of the DPRK and the tension on the peninsula.
And also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(South_Korea,_2017)
They ran Kim Jae-Yeon for president. She once said:
She received 37 thousand votes. Not a lot, but they do exist.
Any more left than them tend to get banned under "National Security" laws.
I mean, isn't she just saying it doesn't make sense to fight back since that could lead to war with a nuclear power?
Idk seems like the thing a smarter Israel would've said, and Hamas never even had nukes.
That said, I can totally see how a more ignorant voter could be convinced that is supportive of NK. Just seems like some animal farm shit. Like, "Snowball is all-powerful and we must be ready to give up everything you hold dear to fight!"
