    Dude wrote a poem for the North Korean state media advocating for the unification of Korea under the ‘Pyongyang’s socialist system’. Considering that the reason for the entire Korean war and the ongoing conflict between North Korea and South Korea is that both claim to be the only legitimate government of all Korea, I can see why they would find this seditious.

      I don’t know how anyone can defend tossing a person in jail over a poem

        Jail is a bit extreme. But he is the proponent of fascist dictatorship and write poems praising it. I don’t feel much sympathy for fascists.

        Idk man, if people got jailed for being openly treasonous there’d be less idiots running their mouths.

          Who decides what’s treason? I despise my country at the moment, it’s a piece of shit country that doesn’t deserve my praise or allegiance. So should I go to jail?

          I see you don’t like freedom of speech, at least not for people who disagree with you
