Something odd--can't access S. Korean News Sites

I’ve tried 4 or 6 different sites, including Google News, & I can’t access S. Korea.
The sites won’t load. None of them.

I just keep getting bounced back to the page I was trying to leave.

Very strange!

I can get the Korea Herald. There might be a fibre issue in your area.

This site claims to be the official government webiste, and it is open.

“Fibre tissue”?

I’m unfamiliar with the phrase…?

optics. Internet. Sometimes a careless backhoe wreaks havoc for a whole region.

Well, you can always check out the news in NORTH Korea.
