A new sprite advertisement which shows a dictator, Kim-Jong-il, modeled a North Korean leader among chinese websites. This video is produced in Israel and shows Kim-Jong-il drinking the soda as his armies are marching. Then, a soldier brings a sprite. After drinking it, the leader shouts, "can you feel it?" Suddenly, the soldiers start to dance and the military march switches into a party. As shown above, North Korea and its government are citicized in many different ways such as videos, articles, and other sources that people are familiar with. I believe that through the media, many people will start to criticize more about North Korea as their isolation continues. This also shows that eventhough Kim-Jong Ill is treated as a sacred figure in North Korea, he is treated as a funny icon outside the world.

South Korea resumes civilian humanitarian aid to N. Korea
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110331000405
South Korea has allowed civilian groups to resume providing humanitarian aid to North Korea after last November when North has attacked South several times. The unification ministry has approved to send the three relief aid groups to send help to the North in order to lower the amount of people who are now suffering from food shortages in the communist country. After North Korea's attack which led to the sinking of chunanham, a military ship, triggered korean government to stop the aid support in North Korea; however, after about an year and few days, South Korea has decided to start sending the food again. I believe this shows a progress in better relationship between two Korea, which as time passes, it will be much better like early 2000.

Kim Jong-il dreamed of stoning
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110327000236
Kim-jong-il, a leader of North Korea, had nightmares in which people threw stones at him, said Chung Mong-joon of the ruling Grand National Party. This shows how Kim was aware of growing dissatisfied among his people, who have suffered in proverty over a long period. Kim-Jong-Il described his dream that he was hit by stones thrown first by Americans, second by South Koreans and then by North Koreans.
Also, he stated that he is aware of his citizens and knew they did not like him; however, many people cam out and welcome him when he showed up. I believe that the leader of North Korea is starting to fear his own people, which they are tired of starving and that they can protest against him. He has already placed military forces to prevent the protest as soon as it happens, which also shows that Kim-Jong- il is scared of people's corruption. Instead of spending millions of dollars for his birthday present, he needs to provide much more food in order to satisfy his country.

Koreas agree to continue study on volcanic threat
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110329000840
North Korea and South Korea had a meeting to advance the study of volcano erruption from Mountain Baekdu. During the meeting, Geologists in both Korea also discussed about radioactive damamge from Japan's nuclear crisis; however, they seem the major reason of the threats are massive earthquakes that happened in Japan recently. The North Korean delegation has announced that they had underground water fluctuating by 60 centimeters and muddy spring water after the Japanese quake. Mount Baekdu, a dormant volcano, has been threatening South and North Korea, which can create a massive effect as it errupts. I believe that this was an essential meeting, which they can discuss and prevent this massive disaster that migh possibly happen. Japan currently had a huge effect on the natural disaster, which disrrupted a lot of people over the world, so I think that both Korea are afraid about erruption which led them to the meeting.

NorthKorea lashes out at Seoul-Washington alliance
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20080317000031
North Korea is criticizing the movement between South Korea and United States, which they are making their military alliance stronger due to North Korea's consistent threats. The U.S. military captain`s participation for South Korea considered creating the missile defense system against the North`s missile. Japan has announced that United States is working hard to lead South Korea into the building of missile shied, which can protect people in Seoul and have better military defense.Also, Bell, a commander of U.S hostility, has encouraged South Korea to purchase "Aegis-equipped cruisers" to protect South Korean ports from missiles. This shows that South Korea is finally getting their military defense set up so they can defend North Korea's attack. United States and other countries are strongly supporting South Korea, whcih proves how serious the problems between South and North Korea became. I believe that it is now time for South Korea to fight back and not get threatened by their nuclear weapons.

Defector groups continue to send anti-North leaflets despite threats
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110302000851
Defector groups from North Korea to South Korea is continuing across the border, ignoring the harsh threats, which they are directly "fired" when the North Koreans are found near the warfare sites. According to North Korean defector, this threat has been continued over 4 years and South Korea has accepted all the North Korean defectors.Eventhough the threats became intense, defectors kept consistently sending the anti-North leaflets and is about over 3 million, which leads North Koreans to come to the South side persuading more defectors to join the South Korea. This shows how much North Korea has been losing their trust among people and the supporting power for thier leader, Kim jong il. I believe if this movement among North Koreans grow bigger, then it can possibly lead to an inter corruption, which North Korea itslef will fall due to their people, and North Korea government's loss of power.

South Korea accelerates stealth fighter program
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110302000858
South Korea is moving to purchase a high-end fleet of stealth(fighter jets) to counter North Korea’s consistent threats. Also, in order to keep pace with neighboring countries securing with their radar-evading combat aircraft. They are planning to buy about 60 next generation combats aiming to operate in 2016.
The government is expecting to develope their military strategy and will choose which jet to buy to prepare the attack from North Korea. Due to other countries succesful flight projects, Seoul had decided to accelerate the efforts on purchasing and testing the stealth. Military officials in South Korea and experts largely agree that fighter jets should be introduced early as North Korea’s attack continue to destabilize the security environment on the Korean Peninsula.
I believe that South Korea has made a right decision on planning to purchase the fighter jets, which they will have a great military force that can counter attack North Korea. However, it might create a problem between two countries, which seems like the realtionship between two countries will be intensified.

N. Korea asked Western diplomat for rice assistance
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110302000142
According to South Korean governement source, North Korea has recently asked a visiting Western diplomat for rice assistance. One of the European union member countries visited North Korea in mid- Feburary and was asked for food support. North Korea has consistently widened its global outreach for food assistance; however, they have failed getting the food supplies several times due to misguided economic policies. Based on the research, in the mid-1990s, about 2 million people died from starvation in North Korea, which is a very shocking news. Also the aid that was supported by South Korea has dried up, which leads to increase the North Korean citizens to defect.
This proves how much North Korea is suffering from blocking the connections between many countries including South Korea. Death of 2million people in North Korea is very shocking; however, their leader, Kim Jong Il does not pay attention to his citizens and spent over 1 million for his birthday present. North Korea needs to seriously ask for food supplies from South Korea and must apologize their attack internationally.
