North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun has called the leader of South Korea’s main opposition party Hong Joon-pyo “a broken piece of malfunctioning flesh.”
Netizens discovered the comment in a March 31 opinion piece by Ri Sung-ho. The article criticised the Liberty Korea Party chairman’s negative campaign against South Korean President Moon Jae-in for prosecuting former presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye.
Rodong Sinmun is the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea and a communication channel for the North Korea Bureau of the Communist Party of Korea.
Ri’s report carried a headline saying the South Korean lawmaker “must be buried immediately.”
