Fireworks and champagne as these South Koreans celebrate the death of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
They resent the succession of his son Kim Jong-un and some called for the reunification of the two Koreas.
Earlier on the day of Kim's funeral defectors from the North released balloons containing anti-Pyongyang leaflets towards the border.

"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."
The balloons were carrying 200,000 leaflets criticising the North Korean regime and money totalling 1,000 U.S. dollars.
But some South Koreans felt sympathy was more appropriate during the funeral.

"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."
Kim Jong-un will become the third member of the family to run the isolated and unpredictable North Asian country.
Many analysts have dubbed the past 20 years there the "Great March Backwards."
