This column explains an example about the fraction of perspective of the South Korean people toward the North Korean defectors. The main story is that one young defector who is casted TV show, said his opinion of the Korean unification in that show, representing the voice of the North Korean since he was requested by the production crews. "I oppose the unification", he said. "The present way is that South Korea with the capital and the technology develops[exploits] North Korea if North Korea afford the resource and the cheap labor power. From the boots of the North Korean people could be thought that why have to give our resource low-priced to South Korea, we are [going to be] victims of the unification at some aspects", he continued. "In the point of the North Korean view, have China even though not unify with South Korea. If South Korea refused to the exchanges and collaborations, don't need to go hand in hand with South Korea since North Korea has been friendly relations with China" After this, the netizens resented he dissented from the South Korean centered unification without being notified the fact the defector had been doing a mission which was on behalf of the North Korean's view. He was severely blamed by the network public and hide himself from the outside.

The writer, Jin-a, Jung, professor of the Graduate School, Kunkuk University, criticizes that the South Korean society wants the defectors to be still in the position embodies the anti-communism, the anti-north even though they already started to divest of "the returned soldier" which the expression was made for the propaganda of superiority by the South Korean Government. In this frame, the defectors, she said, could be a subject for sympathy and support, but couldn't acquire the citizenship or have freedom to leave from the political stance arranged by the Korean society.
