North Korea’s propaganda speaker on demolishing borders

South Korean military said North Korea has begun to remove some speakers that are used to broadcast propaganda on the border between the two countries.

North Korea’s move appears to be a positive reaction to the proposal of newly elected South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. He has run for improvement of the connection between Clay.

South Korea removed some of its own speakers earlier this week. Shortly after Lee took office in June, it stopped broadcasting in non-military areas – prompting its neighbors to send a similar response.

Korean radio often features K-pop’s songs and news reports, while the north makes disturbing noises such as how called animals.

“From this morning, North Korean troops removed propaganda speakers in certain places along the front line,” South Korean military said in a statement on Saturday.

It added: “It is pending confirmation that the equipment has been removed in all areas and the military will continue to monitor related activities.”

The speaker’s broadcast has been suspended on previous occasions. But after six years of pause, they resumed in June 2024 in response to Pyongyang’s movement to send garbage balloons to the south.

Residents living along the border complained that their lives were shocked by the noise on both sides, sometimes late at night.

Seoul claims that during the day, radio across the border can hear up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) of sounds and 24 kilometers (15 miles) of sounds at night.

But the move was criticized by the organization after South Korea suspended broadcasts in June.

Relations between North Korea and South Korea have deteriorated under President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is even more hawkish to Pyongyang.

Yoon is impeached and removed from his post As South Korea briefly introduced compliance with martial arts in December, the citation was threatened by anti-state forces and North Korean sympathizers.

Reunion with the South has been a key part of the northern ideology since the founding of the country, even as its current leader, Kim Jong Un, abandoned the idea in 2024.

Since the Korean War ended in 1953, the two countries are still technically in war and have no peace treaties.
