The government released some new reading material the other day:
South Korea’s latest weapon in the fight against Kim Jong Il’s regime is a 32-page manga comic strip that seeks to dispel public doubts about North Korea’s responsibility in the deadly sinking of a patrol boat.
The Ministry of National Defense yesterday began distributing the cartoon story to schools, libraries and government offices in a bid to turn back a wave of skepticism among the nation’s youth. More than half of South Koreans in their 20s don’t trust their government’s latest account of the March 26 sinking of the Cheonan, according to a poll by Seoul-based research company Realmeter.
The Truth About the Attack on the Cheonan
The comic can be read online here. Whether this will help communicate the government’s position or simply be perceived as propaganda remains to be seen.
