Will South Koreans migrate to North Korea?

This is a challenging headline, of course, but that is what South Korean leaders fear and that is the reason, why they ban a North Korean website from their Korea's Kim Il-sung University to stop the communist state's ideology from spreading among the South's Internet-savvy young (according to an official). "The Korean-language Web site offers distance learning and replaces 42 years of educational radio broadcasts."

Are South Korean leaders so uncertain about their own youth that they think they will convert to communist ideology? Isn't it the case that something that is in "hiding or forbidden" is way more attractive than something that is in the open and can be discussed? Don't they think that their own system and its attractive side-effects will be able to wither the confrontation with North Korean ideology? Okay they are still in the stage of cease fire, but isn't it time to move on?
