S . Korea urges N . K . to stop meddling in Seoul ' s state affairs SEOUL , Feb . 27 ( Yonhap ) -- South Korea called on North Korea on Monday to stop interfering in the country ' s domestic politics as Pyongyang ' s semi - state agencies condemned President Park Geun - hye on the occasion of the final hearing of her impeachment trial . The History Society of North Korea on Sunday called Park ' s family a " dirty group of traitors , " and an agency promoting anti - imperialism said that rallies staged by Park ' s supporters will only speed up her downfall . North Korea ' s attacks were timed with the Constitutional Court ' s move to listen to final arguments to check the legality of Park ' s impeachment . The hearing is slated for later in the day . South Korea ' s unification ministry urged North Korea to immediately stop its criticism . " North Korea should focus on improving the livelihood of its people , " Jeong Joon - hee , ministry spokesman , told a regular press briefing . " The North said that those who go against public sentiment should face the graveyard of history . Pyongyang should digest what it said and reflect on its own situation , " Jeong added . The parliament voted on Dec . 9 to impeach Park over a corruption scandal involving her and her close friend . Park is alleged to have colluded with her jailed friend Choi Soon - sil in extorting money and favors from local conglomerates . She is also suspected of allowing Choi to meddle in state affairs . The president has consistently rejected charges leveled against her and countered that the probe carried out by prosecutors is biased . sooyeon @ yna . co . kr ( END )
