Kijong-dong in North Korea is a propaganda town luring South Korean defectors
機井洞為宣傳村,誘使韓國人投誠
Is Kijong-dong just an empty village?
機井洞真的是一座空城嗎?
FROM the outside the North Korean village of Kijong-dong looks like any other town, brightly painted houses, schools, daycare, even a hospital.
從外部看,朝鮮村莊機井洞和別的村莊別無二致,鮮亮的房屋、學校、托兒所、甚至有一所醫院 。
But on closer inspection all is not as it seems.
仔細觀察就會發現一切并不像表面看上去那樣簡單 。
Sitting in the heavily guarded Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) that separates North and South Korea, Kijong-dong is widely referred to as the “Propaganda Village” and is believed to be a decoy for luring South Korean defectors.
機井洞位于南北朝鮮邊境線上的非軍事區,通常被稱為“宣傳村”,是用來吸引韓國人叛逃的誘餌 。
