SEOUL - The counter-espionage authorities are said to be investigating an officer of a progressive party and two others on Jeju Island in relation to suspicions they have been spying for North Korea.
The National Intelligence Service and the police have tracked the Jeju spy ring for more than five years. The authorities raided the party and a farmers group in Jeju on two occasions late last year. The warrants say they received instructions from North Korea until November last year to condemn President Yoon, struggle against conservative politicians, demand the suspension of US-Korea combined military exercises, and oppose the introduction of advanced US weapons to South Korea. They reported to Pyongyang that they had actually carried out some of the instructions.
What has been exposed so far may be the tip of an iceberg. The Moon Jae-in administration obsessed with making a show of peace with North Korea effectively sat on its hands in hunting down people spying for the North. The late Hwang Jang-yop, a key architect of North Korea’s juche ideology who defected to South Korea in 1997, once estimated about 50,000 resident agents were secretly acting for Pyongyang in South Korea.
