It's a Twitter ad so I guess it's just bait?

And there's an article

Here's a sample:

Monuments

The despot that leads North Korea is a tyrant who is preoccupied with extolling his own and his family’s achievements to the highest possible degree.

In South Korea, it is considered more appropriate to remember someone than to idolise them. The distinction between the two can be made out with relative ease. The war memorial in South Korea is meant to serve as a reminder of a particularly heinous period in South Korean history, whereas the memorial in North Korea is used as a place of prayer.

Indistinguible from parody.

    i'm not reading the article but I can only assume they chose those two pictures of dads shopping with their kids to demonstrate that south koreans are nerd dorks who wear white pants and blazers while north koreans are cool bros who wear comfortable, low key clothing

        give me the comforting rattle of an old steel shopping cart with a wonky wheel, or give me death.
