The Biden administration has repeatedly said it’s ready to meet North Korea anywhere and at any time without preconditions. The US-led talks on ending North Korea’s nuclear program have been largely stalled since early 2019, when a summit between then President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un collapsed due to disputes over US-led sanctions on the North. Noh said he and Kim also reaffirmed that North Korea’s issues of concern can be discussed once talks are restarted. Kim’s South Korean counterpart, Noh Kyu-duk, said the two had an in-depth discussion on Seoul’s push for a symbolic, political declaration to end the 1950-53 Korean War as a way to bring peace. Kim said the test poses a threat to the international community and is concerning and counterproductive to efforts to promote peace on the Korean Peninsula. Tuesday’s launch violates multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions that ban any activity by North Korea in the area of ballistic missiles. Missiles fired from submarines are harder to detect in advance and would provide North Korea with a secondary, retaliatory attack capability. That marked the North’s first underwater-launched test since October in 2019 and the most high-profile one since President Joe Biden took office in January. South Korean officials said the submarine-fired missile appeared to be in an early stage of development. Last Tuesday, North Korea fired a newly developed ballistic missile from a submarine in its fifth round of weapons tests in recent weeks. South Korean president Moon Jae-in said last month that the spycam epidemic had become a ‘part of daily life’ and urged a wider crackdown and tougher punishments for offenders.We remain ready to meet with the DPRK without preconditions and we have made clear that the United States harbors no hostile intent towards the DPRK, he said. So-called spycam videos have become increasingly common in the country, where men caught secretly filming women, in schools and workplaces, toilets and changing rooms - make headlines on a daily basis. The owners are believed to have earned tens of millions of dollars from advertising promoting websites that arrange prostitution and gambling, both technically illegal but widespread in South Korea. Some members were also accused of jointly planning gang rapes, some of which targeted minors, and posting videos of the victims on the site. They have also been accused of abetting illegal activities by Soranet members who shared videos in which women were secretly filmed in public toilets, classrooms, changing rooms, subways and other public locations. Her husband and another couple known to be co-owners of the site, all of whom have Australian citizenship or permanent residency, remain overseas. She was arrested on Monday for distributing or aiding the distribution of sex videos featuring minors, police said. The 45-year-old owner, surnamed Song, returned to Seoul last week after the South Korean authorities annulled her passport. Soranet, which once boasted more than one million members, was closed two years ago following complaints from women’s rights groups. Soranet, set up in 1999, held tens of thousands of illegal porn videos including ‘revenge porn’ and spycam porn videos of women secretly filmed at public locations.ĭistributing pornography is illegal in South Korea, although many such videos are widely consumed on servers based in foreign countries, or secretly shared on file-sharing sites. A woman who co-founded South Korea’s largest pornography website has been arrested after living as a fugitive in New Zealand for years, police said.
