Here is a $8 million more dollars that the Kim regime does not have to spend on its people:

South Korea decided Friday to donate US$8 million to international agencies for aid projects in North Korea and allow a group of businesspeople to visit a shuttered joint industrial complex in the communist nation.
The decisions came as Seoul has been trying to keep the peace process with the North alive despite the North’s firing of missiles and projectiles earlier this month. Seoul is also formulating plans to send food aid to the impoverished North.
“The government decided to approve the businesspeople’s trip to North Korea as part of efforts to protect their property rights,” the unification ministry said in a press release. “We will make necessary efforts to make their trip to the Kaesong industrial complex go smoothly without any problem.”
“We also plan to provide $8 million through international agencies such as the WFP and UNICEF for projects to support the nutrition of children and pregnant women and their health,” it added, referring to the World Food Programme and the United Nations Children’s Fund.

You can read more at the link, but Seoul is saying they are sending the food aid to keep the peace process alive. So this is basically extortion money then to the Kim regime?
