South Korea dismantles propaganda loudspeakers along the border with North Korea
Kyiv • UNN
South Korea has begun dismantling loudspeakers that broadcast K-pop and propaganda into North Korea. This follows President Lee Jae-myung's order to cease broadcasts to de-escalate tensions.
The South Korean government has begun removing loudspeakers from the border that were used to broadcast K-pop and propaganda news directed at North Korea.
Reported by UNN with reference to Yonhap News.
Details
South Korea's Ministry of Defense confirmed that they have begun removing loudspeakers from their border with North Korea, which broadcast propaganda aimed at the DPRK, for the purpose of psychological influence.
This step came less than two months after President Lee Jae-myung ordered an end to loudspeaker broadcasts on the border with the DPRK, in frontline areas, on June 11, as part of efforts "to restore strained relations with the North."
This is a practical measure that can help ease inter-Korean tensions without affecting the military's combat readiness
Recall
North Korea has switched its state television broadcasting from a Chinese satellite to a Russian one, making it difficult for South Korean government agencies and media to monitor and view such broadcasts.
