Why South Korea is no longer playing K-Pop towards North Korea

• South Korea has halted its loudspeaker broadcasts of anti-North Korea propaganda along the inter-Korean border in an effort to reduce tensions.
• The broadcasts had been restarted in June of the previous year in response to North Korea's psychological warfare campaign involving trash-filled balloons sent into South Korea.
• South Korea’s Defense Ministry stated the decision aims to "restore trust in inter-Korean relations and promote peace on the Korean Peninsula."
• The move follows heightened tensions, including North Korea launching approximately 7,000 balloons carrying waste into South Korea, which they claimed was retaliation for anti-North Korean leaflets and USB sticks containing South Korean songs and dramas.
• South Korea's new liberal president, Lee Jae-myung, has vowed to improve relations with Pyongyang and promised to halt the loudspeaker broadcasts, but prospects for early dialogue remain dim as North Korea prioritizes relations with Russia.
