[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Minsaengdang lawmaker Park Ji-won stated on the 20th, "Let us mutually cease the harmful leaflet (pira) activities between the North and South," adding, "Some thoughtless actions are causing enormous harm to our entire nation."

On the same day, Park said on Facebook, "It is inappropriate for North Korea to prepare for leaflet distribution targeting the South and for the Korean Central News Agency to report on its contents; this must be stopped immediately."

Park also noted, "Our government has declared it will thoroughly crack down on leaflet distribution to the North and punish offenders under current laws, and the National Assembly has passed legislation to block it. On the 17th, President Moon Jae-in also spoke about measures regarding the leaflet issue toward the North."

Addressing the North, Park criticized, "'An eye for an eye' is childish behavior," and pointed out, "The North has already sufficiently shown its intentions by destroying the Inter-Korean Liaison Office."

Park urged the defectors' groups distributing leaflets to the North to reflect on their actions and called on North Korea to immediately halt its plans for leaflet distribution targeting the South.
