The 23rd marked the 13th anniversary of North Korea pouring over 170 artillery shells into Yeonpyeong Island in the West Sea, killing two soldiers and two civilians. Kim Oh-bok, the mother of Sergeant Seo Jeong-woo, a Marine who died at the time, said at a memorial service at Daejeon National Cemetery, “I realize that no one can be exempt from sacrifice in situations of security threats.” In a phone call with this paper, he said, “I was ‘insensitive to security.’ “I was not on the front lines, but I spent my entire life as a teacher in Gwangju,” he said. “It was only following my son was killed so gruesomely while on vacation that I realized that there are no exceptions to sacrifices resulting from North Korean provocations.”

North Korea is a group that has 1.2 million troops, more than twice the size of ours, and is heavily armed with a variety of conventional, chemical, and nuclear weapons, stipulating ‘advancement of nuclear forces’ and ‘unification through communism’ in its constitution and Labor Party rules. Even following invading the South and slaughtering the country just 70 years ago, there have been countless armed provocations. Even now, they are going crazy making all kinds of weapons while starving the residents. However, not many people are alert to this serious situation. Insensitivity to security is probably the most widespread disease in Korea.

The Democratic Party is largely responsible for this disease. They say that North Korea’s invasion of the South ‘had a reason’ and defend the creation of nuclear weapons by saying that it was ‘for defensive purposes’. They say they want to lift sanctions once morest North Korea while North Korea’s nuclear program remains in place. When North Korea makes a provocation, they always say, “It’s because of us.” Even if the sinking of the Cheonan was caused, he said, ‘There is no way it was North Korea’s fault.’ On the contrary, they focused only on stimulating public anxiety through propaganda asking ‘War or Peace?’ It was difficult to provide cash to North Korea, and the previous administration only focused on inter-Korean events throughout its term. Meanwhile, North Korea even completed tactical nuclear weapons for striking South Korea.

The same thing happened when North Korea launched a reconnaissance satellite and the government suspended the September 19 agreement. Regarding Russia’s provision of military technology to North Korea, the Democratic Party leader said, “Isn’t this because of our government’s hostile policy and hostile remarks toward Russia?” Russia’s support for North Korea is North Korea’s payment for providing artillery shells to Russia, regardless of South Korea’s policy toward Russia. They are trying to cause internal strife among us by misleading people regarding a problem that everyone knows regarding.

Mr. Kim Oh-bok said, “The importance of security must be engraved in the minds of all citizens.” This is sincere advice not to make the mistake of overcoming insensitivity to security only following losing a relative. This is advice that the Democratic Party must listen to. However, it is said that no Democratic Party figures were found at the memorial service.
