You see the difference between the South and the North here is that he was sent to court, where he successfully defended himself (or his lawyer did) and not a gulag.

The DPRK has a court system as well, though. Both sides have courts and prisons, what's being highlighted here is that the ROK legally prohibits anyone from outwardly sympathizing with the DPRK. Historically, the government in South Korea has also slaughtered resistance, from the Jeju Island Massacres to the Gwang-ju Massacre.

OP frequently posts pro-Russia articles. I suspect they don't want to see the difference.
