Here're just some really beautiful impressions(photographed by Yoo Yeong-min), depicting last Saturday's Culture Festival in Miryang, South Gyeongsang Province...
[2 September 2014, central Seoul] This afternoon, Sewol families had a press conference...
...at 1pm, announcing 4.85 million signature petitions...
...calling for an enactment of Special Law on Sewol. After the press conference, families started to make a "Three steps and one bow" pilgrimage walk...
...from Gwanghwamun square to the Presidential Office. Just after few steps, they were totally blocked by the cops:
Some mothers burst out into cry, "Why are you doing this? Didn't you all cry when the Sewol ferry tragedy happened? Are we criminals? Why are you blocking our way?"
Families decided to continue their three steps and one bow at the stop in front of the police wall. It is raining now in Seoul. It is now 5pm here and families have continued their bow for more than 3 hours... (source: Solidarity for Sewol Ferry Tragedy)

Last month the int'l media reported that the U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 has greenlit North Korean political thriller “Opposite Number.” The 10-part drama series has been penned by British playwright and screenwriter Matt Charman, who wrote the original script for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Cold War movie. The Channel 4 series kicks off with a covert mission to North Korea by a British nuclear scientist, who is then taken prisoner. This triggers an international crisis as he could be forced to help North Korea weaponize its nuclear technology...(more you can read here)
Well, it took a while for the N. Korean "authorities" to find out that there's another conspiracy, created just to harm DPRK's dignity. But now - as you can imagine - they're not amused, not at all!
Therefore the National Defence Commission of the DPRK issued y'day the following statement(via KCNA): Recently the British 4th TV channel producers openly made public a plan for producing and airing a serial TV drama-style movie malignantly slandering the DPRK. The movie is nothing but a conspiratorial charade painting a wrong picture of the DPRK's reality... etc. etc. etc.
But here comes the more interesting part of the statement: The British authorities should not forget even a moment the lesson drawn from the incident in which that it was sentenced to permanent death because of "poems of evil" which groundlessly slandered a country in the Mideast in the past. Reckless anti-DPRK hysteria would only bring disgrace and self-destruction...
I searched the internet for "poems of evil", but without any useful result! But I'm guessing, about what they're talking: In 1988 S. Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses" was published in the U.S. and Europe. His novel created a massive outcry in the conservative Islamic world and finally it resulted in a Fatwa calling on all Muslims to kill Rushdie and his publishers...
Well, I've no idea what the "National Defence Commission of the DPRK" wanted to say! An nuclear attack against UK? Possibly impossible(^^)!! But why not a "Korean Style FATWA"(^^) against UK/Channel 4/Matt Charman...
Anyway, sooner or later we'll get the answer...
