<jats:p>While North Korea is physically the closest country to South Korea, sharing the same land mass, the two countries are virtually inaccessible to one another. For 50 years, North Korea was a veiled, mysterious country for South Koreans. During the height of the Cold War era, South Koreans were taught that North Korea was the enemy. The South Korean government created a mood of fear and intimidation by spreading propaganda about how North Korea was planning to wage war -- a war of aggression. South Korean students often had to make posters for anti-communist campaigns. A successful South Korean children’s animation, “General DDOL-Yi” (1978), portrayed North Korean women as foxes, North Korean soldiers as wolves, and Kim, Il-Sung as a pig (Fig. 1 ). During that time, many South Korean children drew wolves, foxes, and pigs when they were asked to draw North Koreans.</jats:p>
