Seriously, are there really pro-NK supporters in SK?

I'm definitely not saying it's a common thing at all but US and western media really, super play up the image of the DPRK and the tension on the peninsula.

And also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(South_Korea,_2017)

They ran Kim Jae-Yeon for president. She once said:

On 4 June 2012 during an interview with KBS, the emcee asked her to confirm her view towards North Korea. She answered, "If a person does not want to recognise North Korean regime, it means that he/she wants a war with them". When the emcee also asked about what if North Korea attacks the South, she replied, "Still, we should not fight back."

She received 37 thousand votes. Not a lot, but they do exist.

Any more left than them tend to get banned under "National Security" laws.

I mean, isn't she just saying it doesn't make sense to fight back since that could lead to war with a nuclear power?

Idk seems like the thing a smarter Israel would've said, and Hamas never even had nukes
