More South Koreans toured North Korea despite chill in ties
SEOUL, May 4 (Yonhap) -- The number of South Korean tourists heading to North Korea's scenic Geumgang Mountain nearly doubled in the first four months of this year, industry sources said Sunday, despite strained inter-Korean relations following the launch in February of the conservative Lee Myung-bak government.
North Korea has reacted angrily to Lee's pledge to get tough on North Korea unless Pyongyang abandons its nuclear weapons programs, threatening to turn South Korea into ashes, suspending all inter-Korean dialogue and expelling South Korean officials from the inter-Korean industrial complex in the North's border town.
