Article: "Conversation in North Korean dialect..." Junior high school students awarded for reporting spies

Source: Yonhap News via Naver

Two female junior high school students heard two men talking in a North Korean dialect on their way home and reported it to their homeroom teacher the next day. Although she thought the chances of them being North Korean spies was low, she advised that they report it to the police.

They weren't able to track the two men down but gave the girls a security commendation and tickets to cultural events. "Young students these days don't have much consideration for security, so these two girls did a brave thing. We hope that other students and citizens will learn something from them."

1. [+2,691, -162] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Proud of them, good job

2. [+2,119, -123] I'm glad the police rewarded them instead of giving them a pat on the back

3. [+1,817, -48] I heard that schools are increasing class hours on Korean history and I'm glad. You can learn so much from our history.

4. [+1,366, -77] Great job~~~

5. [+1,252, -25] That phrase about North Koreans being scared of our junior high school students ended up being true ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (netizens often make this joke because junior high school students are so rebellious/crazy these days)

6. [+1,337, -226] There are a ton of spies in the South right now.. Especially Yeoido.

7. [+698, -43] In a generation so oblivious to country matters, I'm really proud of the two students

8. [+619, -75] I heard there are already so many spies living in the South that North Korea isn't sending anymore. They're focusing on the internet now.
