Hundreds of South Koreans crossed the border into North Korea on Thursday to watch South Korean models strut down a runway in clothes made by North Korean workers at a new joint industrial park.

I am glad that Kim Tae-hee did not donate anything to N. Korean regime. Once a popular female singer donated $500K worth of sanitary napkins to N. Korea, thinking that they will be given to ordinary N. Korean women. She was wrong. N. Koreans sold them at duty-free shops. The proceeds from the sale were used to bankroll 'tong-jon-boo,' an intelligence outfit for S. Korean operations.
I heard many skeptical comments on this Kaesung venture, too. It may end up as a money conduit for N. Korean regime, while business there are not making money.
