N.Korean leaflets with sexually explicit cartoons of Park found in Seoul

Some leaflets are written in the South Korean dialect, clearly targeting audience in Seoul

Propaganda leaflets, likely sent by balloons from North Korea, were found in central Seoul over the weekend, one of which contains sexually explicit cartoons depicting now-impeached South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

The leaflets were found on the way from Grand Hyatt Seoul hotel to the Hannam-dong neighborhood of South Korea's capital, and are part of an apparently escalating campaign by the North to spread its message in the South.
