South Korea has started blaring propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at border areas in retaliation for the North sending over trash-carrying balloons.
FILE- Members of South Korean K-pop band BTS, V, SUGA, JIN, Jung Kook, RM, Jimin, and j-hope from left to right, pose for photographers ahead of a press conference to introduce their new single"Butter" in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, May 21, 2021. South Korea has recently retaliated for North Korea's trash-carrying balloon launches with propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at border areas.
Some frontline North Korean soldiers testified after their defections to South Korea that they had enjoyed South Korean broadcasts that contained pop songs and accurate weather forecasts that warned of potential rain and advised them to gather up laundry hung on outdoor clotheslines. The playlists of South Korean loudspeaker broadcasts in 2016 included songs by a young female singer, IU, whose soft, soothing voice was believed meant to demoralize frontline North Korean male soldiers.
