INCHEON, South Korea, July 28 (UPI) -- South Korean police launched an investigation after hundreds of lapel pins with an image of former North Korean leader Kim Jong Il were found at a hotel.
The coin-sized pins, which are required to be worn by all adult North Koreans, were discovered in a flower bed at the Grand Hyatt Incheon, located near Incheon International Airport. Possession of such lapel pins, and other North Korean propaganda materials, is illegal in South Korea.
