(CORRECTION) Top headlines in major S. Korean newspapers


In the Yonhap story with the slug “headlines” that moved on Jan. 31, the Chosun Ilbo headline should have read, “Participant at forum hosted by Rep. Yoon Mi-hyang says unification through war is option if it is for peace (Chosun Ilbo).” It was confirmed that a participant at a forum, not Rep. Yoon, made such remarks. A corrected version follows.
