"Article 7 forces people to harbour hostility toward the North as it suppresses anyone's freedom to review North Korean materials," said Jang Kyung-wook of Minbyun, a collective of human rights lawyers, referring to a key provision of the law.The proposal has rekindled debate about whether South Korea, with its democratic system, economic dominance and cultural influence, driven by K-pop and global hits such as boy band BTS and the television show "Squid Game", must still worry about North Korean propaganda."They labelled me a commie in a Christian's skin, raising issue with more than 10 years of my work," Jung told a rally in Seoul, the capital, after his release on Nov. 9.Also joining the debate are many scholars and journalists, who have gained access to the contentious material through virtual private networks or proxy servers, who say such a move would benefit people's right to know."The North will likely produce television shows and publications specifically designed to sow more division in the South," said defector Kim Tae-san, a former North Korean ambassador to the Czech Republic."
