Last Friday(8.10) Yonhap reported in the early afternoon(KST) the following: A North Korean delegation crossed the border into South Korea on Friday to take part in a planned inter-Korean workers' football match on the weekend, organizers said. The 64-member delegation, led by Ju Yong-gil, head of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, arrived at the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) office in Paju, just south of the inter-Korean border... They were greeted by Kim Myoung-hwan and Kim Ju-young, heads of South Korea's two major umbrella labor groups - the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU), respectively...(more you can read here)
Subsequently the S. Korean media, especially the trade unions' press (노동과 희망/Work& Hope by FKTU, 노동과 세계/Work& World by KCTU) and so-called "progessive" internet magazines such as Voice of the People(민중의소리) published squeamish detailed reports about all moments of the three-day visit by the delegation from the North. Even the S. Korean bourgeois press - such as Korea Times - provided pretty much detailed reports about the event...
Contrary to the datailed daily reports in the S. Korean press, the North' state media "failed"(resp. refused!!) to report about the event. And after three days of silence today's Rodong Sinmun the "North and South Korean Workers' Union Football Tournament"...
...was mentioned on page 4(out of 6 daily pages) just as an MARGINAL NOTE!!
Today's top story in the S. Korean media:
Kim Jong-un's dear[sic!] sister, Kim Yo-jong, is set to become the first member of North Korea's ruling dynasty to set foot in the rival South this week. The Unification Ministry in Seoul announced Wednesday that Kim Yo-jong, presumed to be aged about 30, will be part of a high-ranking government delegation attending the Winter Olympic opening ceremony slated for Friday...(source: Yonhap News Agency)
PS. Imagine... Next Sunday evening, the last day of her trip to the South, she'll tell her S. Korean minder, "Yo! You know what? I don't wanna see my f*cking dorky brother never again!! I'll stay now in South Korea..."(^^)

Please, refrain from laughing!!
President Kim Il Sung is a legendary hero who defeated the Japanese imperialist aggressors by leading the final offensive operation for Korea's liberation to victory.
In the 1940s, he worked out a plan for the final offensive operation to defeat the Japanese aggressors and strove to carry it into practice.
Under the plan, the Korean People's Revolutionary Army units were reorganized and many armed organizations formed in the homeland. All Koreans were in full readiness to join the KPRA's final offensive operation.
On August 9, 1945, Kim Il Sung gave an order of an all-out offensive for the national liberation.
As a result, the Japanese imperialists surrendered at discretion in Korea on August 15, one week since the start of the final anti-Japanese operation.
The credit for Korea's liberation from the Japanese colonial rule goes to the wise guidance of Kim Il Sung.
