South Korea’s National Security Law technically forbids corresponding or communicating with citizens from the North without prior consent from the Unification Ministry. Therefore, are hundreds of South Koreans in violation of law for following the newly created @uriminzok state-run Twitter account from the North? Technically, fines of up to $2500 USD can be assigned for violations, but it is doubtful anyone is in any danger of being fined. The Twitter account has exploded in popularity, reaching over 7500 followers from around the world in just a few days.
