TITLE: 'Ghost Ship' With 8 Dead N. Koreans Washes Up in Japan During 'Unified Korea' Flag Announcement
SENTENCE 1: While news of North and South Korea agreeing to march under a "unified Korea" flag at the upcoming Winter Olympics has sparked hopes for peace, a grim reminder of the harshness of life in the North washed up on the shores of Japan in a "ghost ship" that contained eight skeletal remains.
SENTENCE 2: While Abe said it is yet to be confirmed that the boat came from North Korea, CNN said police also found a badge with the likenesses of North Korean leaders Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung inside the boat, along with a cigarette box with Korean letters.
SENTENCE 3: The discovery of this year's first ghost ship coincides with news that North and South Korea will march under the same flag for the opening of the Winter Olympic games, which will take place between Feb.

Bias label: slightly
Annotator rationales:
If the text describes the discovery of the 'ghost ship' as a 'grim reminder of the harshness of life in the North,' then it risks oversimplifying the complex social, political, and economic realities of North Korea by reducing them to a single tragic event.
If the text uses emotionally charged language like 'ghost ship' and 'skeletal remains,' then it risks sensationalizing the tragedy and evoking strong emotions rather than fostering a nuanced understanding of the issue.
If the text highlights the presence of badges featuring North Korean leaders, then it risks reinforcing stereotypes about North Korea being a cult-like regime obsessed with its leadership, without providing context about the broader cultural or historical significance of such items.
