Many young South Koreans see North Korea as a good country and US as a bad country. These would be the same South Koreans who are now demanding a big new entitlement welfare state, they are that stupid.
There was a protest I had found a pic from, they were holding signs that said “Taxes for the 1%, Welfare for the 99%”.....
Do they really think its possible to have 99% on welfare? They’d be eating grass and each other like in North Korea.
Not necessarily so, he has made other videos that are extremely
jingoistic, pro south K, and very anti communist.

I do believe that in 2004, (he was a lot younger then) he did get caught up in the “mood” of the time.
I do think his change of heart is genuine.
I know a lot of Koreans, when young, they resent authority and go against the grain just to be “different.”
Then suddenly, the North wakes them up. View the video at the link. Then judge.
Not defending him. He has what he has because Americans stepped up and gave it to him. He was very stupid for criticizing the very people who gave him the freedom he has.
OTH, stupid kids make stupid mistakes, and IMHO, this is one. I think his mea coulpa is not because of money, I think its because he knows now that the North is a for real threat and enemy.
Just my opinion.
It’s insane.
SK is wildly successful and they lament the old NK while hating on us even as we shed blood for them.
It’s insane.
