Snatched from a beach to train North Korea's spies

 North Korea has a lot of problems not only developing missiles but also spying and kidnapping. This article is about the kidnapping issue, which is still an ongoing problem in Japan. At the time, North Korea was trying to send agents to South Korea to gather information in an effort to reunify the country. They were looking for Japanese to teach Japanese customs and language to North Korean agents because they plan to enter South Korea pretending to be Japanese. It is also believed that they were aiming to use the nationality of the kidnapped Japanese to carry out espionage activities in other countries. It has been quite a long time since the incident, but the families of the victims are still working to rescue the victims. However, the problem still remains unresolved. In addition, the families and victims are getting older, and I believe that the number of younger generations who know about this issue is decreasing. I thought it is important to raise interest in the kidnap issue and show a strong stance to the North Korean leaders.
