It's there as part of a UN mission enforcing sanctions against North Korea.
Why was it there enforcing sanctions against North Korea?
Oh, theyre just part of a siege operation against the DPRK, that is so much better.
Surely not trying to liberate their own country after the US violently disbanded the democratic provisional government in the south, formed a right wing military dictatorship, and started killing pro democracy protestors by the tens of thousands. That would be fucked up if they were sanctioned for that.
If youre not going to read a history book on the conflict written from an anticolonialist perspective at least listen to the blowback season on the Korean war.
