Internet users are decorating their blogs with caricatures of President Roh Moo-hyun and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. The Ministry of Finance and Economy (MOFE) said it is giving away background wallpaper carrying caricatures of Roh and Kim to netizens to promote the summit.
The users of Cyworld or Naver can log on to town.cyworld.com/mofe or blog.naver.com/mofesponsor, to leave messages applauding the summit and get the background wallpaper.
Ministry officials said that more than 6,000 Internet users had downloaded the wallpaper as of early Wednesday morning. They said more netizens are expected to change their blog background to the wallpaper with the caricatures of the two leaders.
The wallpaper comes in six different designs, which include Roh and Kim forming a team in the World Cup and running toward a ``global market''; the two watering a tree symbolizing a ``unified economy''; and the two flying abroad in a hot-air balloon carrying export items manufactured in the Kaesong (Gaeseong) Industrial Complex.
It is the first time the North Korean leader appears as an official caricature on blog wallpaper here. Netizens can also win watches manufactured by Romanson, a watchmaker operating in Gaeseong, through a lottery.
