Didnt watch the video but if the two did unite lets hope its not like Germanys situation where the South eventually votes in the prior Communists from the North.
North Korean defector apologises for saying Kim Jong Un was probably so ill he could not stand days before the dictator was pictured briskly walking and smoking a cigarette
A former senior North Korean diplomat has apologised for saying Kim Jong-un was likely so ill 'he cannot stand up by himself or walk properly' just three days before the dictator was seen smoking a cigarette at a public event.
Thae fled to South Korea in 2016 and was one of two defectors elected to parliament last month.
In a statement he said he felt 'blame and heavy responsibility' for making his unfounded claims. 'I am aware that one of the reasons why many of you voted for me as a lawmaker is with the expectations of an accurate analysis and projections on North Korean issues', he said. 'Whatever the reasons, I apologise to everyone.'
And another prominent North Korean dissident who was so far off base that he's since had to fast publicly back-track is Ji Seung-ho, also recently elected to the South's parliament, who previously said in a media interview he's 99% sure that Kim died after cardiovascular surgery.
The false predictions from what's essentially the leadership of a 'political opposition in exile' community in South Korea set off a firestorm of criticism in Seoul.
The ruling Democratic Party of South Korea issued a statement condemning the prominent dissidents and newly elected lawmakers' words, saying the“repercussions could have been more serious than merely misleading the public.”
And one of the party’s members went so far as to demand their removal from the Intelligence and Defense committees in Parliament.
North Korea's former deputy ambassador to Britain, Thae Yong Ho (pictured), has apologised after claiming leader Kim Jong-un was so unwell he could not stand.
