Fireworks and champagne as these South Koreans celebrate the death of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.<br/> They resent the succession of his son Kim Jong-un and some called for the reunification of the two Koreas.<br/> Earlier on the day of Kim's funeral defectors from the North released balloons containing anti-Pyongyang leaflets towards the border.<br/> (SOUNDBITE) (Korean) NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR PARK SANG-HAK SAYING:<br/> "North Korean people have been living like slaves for 66 years under Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. How come they can live as a slave under Kim Jong-un who is a little kid, like a dirty puppy? We must not accept the three-generation succession for North Koreans."<br/> The balloons were carrying 200,000 leaflets criticising the North Korean regime and money totalling 1,000 U.S. dollars.<br/> But some South Koreans felt sympathy was more appropriate during the funeral.<br/> (SOUNDBITE) (Korean) 38-YEAR-OLD SEOUL RESIDENT KIM HYUN-HEE SAYING:<br/> "Apart from political stuff, I would like to express my condolences as a human being. If we're looking forward to have the reunification in the future, we need to have more open mind."<br/> Kim Jong-un will become the third member of the family to run the isolated and unpredictable North Asian country.<br/> Many analysts have dubbed the past 20 years there the "Great March Backwards."<br/> Lily Grimes, Reuters
