GANGHWA, South Korea ¨C For seven years, Kim Seongmin has been facing a cancer that has spread to his lungs, brain and liver. Doctors recently gave him only months to live. He can¡¯t sleep at night without painkillers.
Still, Kim broadcasts into North Korea twice a day, bringing its people news and information they are cut off from because of strict censorship laws.
¡°North Korea is keeping its people like frogs trapped in a deep well,¡± ?said Kim?, 62, during an interview at his rural home on this island west of Seoul, where he records and edits shows for Free North Korea Radio. ¡°We broadcast to help them realize that there is something wrong with their political system.¡±
