1. [+4,498, -89] But why did you have to set him on fire after you killed him!! I wish we could set that crazy Kim Jong Un on fire too.
2. [+3,554, -70] I cannot at how barbaric these North Koreans are
3. [+3,405, -75] Set Kim Jong Un on fire too
4. [+437, -75] The media is really trying to paint him as a defector. This is more sickening to me than what they did with the Sewol Ferry.
5. [+289, -6] Whether he was a defector or not doesn't matter. What matters is that the media is trying to paint him as one so that we can evade the responsibility of his death. Whether he was a defector or not, he was still a citizen of our nation, and the North committed a heinous crime of shooting him to death, which is a crime. Our current president keeps coddling the North so they must think that they can do anything they want now and still have his support, and look where that's gotten us now.

Article: Major international media outlets report on 'Kim Jong Un apology'... "extremely rare"
Source: Yonhap News via Naver
1. [+1,289, -139] Are we supposed to be touched that they killed our citizen and said sorry? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just because the international media is "surprised", does that resolve everything? ㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+247, -17] Hilarious that we live in a world where a person in the wrong apologizing is something to be astonished over
3. [+115, -18] Well, the main point of his announcement wasn't really an apology, it was to point out that they didn't really set him on fire and that they're mad over all the misreports.
4. [+15, -0] You know what's more surprising than the apology? That they shot a survivor and set him on fire.
5. [+6, -0] So we're just supposed to be grateful because he apologized and it's "rare"? Our own citizen was trying to run away only to be shot to death and set on fire..

1. [+646, -57] No more media play. They shot a survivor in the water, are we supposed to be grateful that they apologized? Can you imagine how upset his family is feeling right now?
2. [+219, -22] Looks like the international media is so touched over Kim Jong Un's apology... Do you really think an apology is enough after killing someone? Are you really feeling so grateful for his apology?
3. [+103, -3] An apology won't bring back the dead. May he rest in peace, and I hope that his truth is revealed soon.
4. [+29, -3] They did set his body on fire. But they know that it becomes a worldwide issue of ethics at that point which puts them in hot waters so they're trying to make it sound like they only burned his belongings, and then threw in an unexpected apology at the end. They know that it'll be difficult for our country to prove whether or not they burned his body and that the focus will be on his unprecedented apology so that this issue won't further devolve into a political one.
5. [+3, -0] You know who else apologized? Cho Doo Soon.
