S. Korean activist pays respects to Kim during illegal visit to N. Korea
SEOUL, Dec. 28 (Yonhap) -- A progressive South Korean civic activist paid her respects to late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, the North's state media said Wednesday, defying South Korean law that bans unauthorized trips to the communist state.

Hwang Hye-ro, a 35-year-old researcher based in France, arrived in Pyongyang Saturday via Paris and Beijing, according to a pro-North Korean group in Seoul.
