North and South Korea are in the underground war

Listen to Jean Read this article

The border between North and South Korea is tightly dipped with teenage wire fencing and hundreds of guard posts. But the point between them, the more unusual is: giant, green camouflaged speakers.

Last month, as a noon looked at the north in the north, one of the speakers began to blow the pop songs of South Korea, which is full of subseric messages. “When we go abroad, it gives us energy,” a woman’s voice came out of the border – it is not allowed to leave a little northern Korean country.

On the side of North Korea, I was able to weaken military propaganda music because he tried to strangle inflammatory programs.

North and South Korea is still in the war and fired on both sides and fight the other in a more subtle front.

He is trying to get information to South north and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong UN works with anger to block her while trying to protect their people from external information.

North Korea has not penetrated the Internet in the world’s only country. All TV channels, radio stations and newspapers are governed by the state.

“This is the reason for this control, which is the most part of mythology around the family.

He said that enough people and the regime can be collapsed, he said in South Korea’s thinking.

The speakers are a tool used by the South Korean government, but a more complex underground movement behind the scenes was flourished.

A small number of broadcasters and non-profit organizations transmit information to the country in short and medium radio waves, so North Koreans can adapt to listening to secret.

Thousands of usb sticks and micro-SD cards, as well as foreign data, South Korean films, TV drams and pop songs, as well as news, all designed to challenge North Korean propaganda.

But now those who work in the field are afraid of North Korea’s top hand.

Only who is heavily fluttering with the external content, but the future of this work may be in danger. Most of it is funded by the US government and the US President Donald Trump’s latest assistance cuts.

But where does this leave both sides in a long-term information war?

Along with the latest news and fun victims to bring together hope of a team (UMG), South Korean non-profit organization, the latest news and fun victims in the north of the North Korean non-profit organization every month.

They then load them to devices classified because they are risky to see them. It is South Korean TV drams and pop songs in low-risk USBS – recently in Life includes a Netflix Romance series that is a hit from Naringi and the famous South Korean singer and a torper Jennie.

Among the high-risk choices, the team called “educational programs” – information to teach North Koreans about democracy and human rights, the content is thought to be most feared.

Drivers then sent to the Chinese border with a huge risk of UMG’s reliable partners to northern Korea.

South Korean TV dramas may seem innocent, but there are many things about a common life – people living in high-rise apartments, driving fast cars and eating in rising restaurants. He emphasizes both freedoms and how much North Korea is back.

This is one of the biggest fabrications: because they are weak and miserable in the south.

“Some (people) think that they cried while watching these dramas and think about their dreams for the first time.”

It is difficult to know how many people will enter the USBS, but the statements of the latest defects show that the statements are proposed to spread the information and the impact of the information.

“The latest North Korean defectors and refugees say that they are a foreign content that motivates their lives to escape,” North Korea’s freedom is trying to distribute this content.

North Korea does not have any political opposition or unknown opposition or unknown opposition and to collect protests are very dangerous – but Mr. Park hopes to inspire some resistance acts.

Kang Gyuri, who was 24, was grown in North Korea, where a fishing business fled. Then, in late 2023, he ran to South Korea.

Watching foreign TV inspired him to go partially. “I felt so drowned and suddenly it was suddenly Wants to leave.“

Last month, when he met in a park in a sunny afternoon in Seoul, he remembered to listen to radio broadcasts as a child with his mother. Caught when he was 10 years older than the first k. Years later, he learned that USB rods and SD cards were smuggled into the country in the fruit boxes.

He realized how much the government was lying to him. “I thought it was normal that the state had limited us very much. I thought that other countries live with this control,” he said. “But then I just realized that it was in North Korea.”

About everyone knew that South Korea watched TV shows and movies there. He and friends will change their USBS.

“We talked about famous drama and actors and thought K-pop idols look good as certain members of BTS.

“We also talked about how the economy of South Korea was developing; we could not openly criticize the North Korean regime.”

Shows, as well as how their friends spoke and dressed, and he also affected the supplements. “North Korea’s youth has changed rapidly.”

Kim Jong UN, all this risk, which is very aware of this risk, fights back.

During the pandemic, the chin also established new electric fences along the border and has increased penalties for people who share new laws, consumption and foreign media. One stated that the distributors distributing the contents could be arrested or executed.

This had a cold effect. “These media are used to purchase in the markets, people will openly sell, but now you can only get from people you trust,” Mr. Lee said.

Castredown Ms. Kang and his friends were more cautious. “Although we are really close, we are no longer talking to each other with each other and we are not even more secret,” he acknowledged.

He says more young people are being considered by the South Korean content.

Recently, Kim also reached the behavior that could be associated with watching k-dramas. In 2023, this was a crime for people to use South Korean expressions or speech in South Korean emphasis.

The members of the ‘young people who are cycling’ were instructed to watch the streets, patrols the young people. Mrs. Kang reminds you that he has been suspended more often before escaping and reprimanding his hair like South Korea and reprimand for his style.

The staff will confiscate the phone and read text messages, it adds to make sure he did not use South Korean conditions.

In late 2024, North Korea’s mobile phone was smuggled from the country by the country’s daily NK, (Media News in Seoul, UMG news).

The phone was so programmed that a word entering a southern Korean version, automatically disappears, the North Korean equivalent – Orwellian movement was replaced.

“Now smartphones try to educate the people of North Korea and say Mr. Williams.

Following all these raids, North Korea now believes in this information war. “

After the return of Donald Trump’in after this year, he worked to inform a number of support organizations, including North Koreans. He also stopped the two federally funded news services, free of FREE Asia and America (VOA).

Trump VOA “Radical” and Musical “and Musical” and Anti-Trump “, the movement of the White House will ensure that taxpayers will have a hook for radical propaganda,” he said.

However, Steve Herman, who was the chief of the former VOA Bureau of Seoul, “It was one of the least windows in the world, the world was northern Korean people and silent without any explanation.”

UMG is still waiting to learn that the financing will always be cut.

Mr. PARGEN from freedom in North Korea, Trump said he was “accidental” and called “the short-term” action.

The expansion of nuclear weapons, a great security threat and sanctions, diplomacy and military pressure are not given a lucky security training.

“We are trying to include the threat of North Korea, trying to solve it,” he argues. “You need to change the essence of the country to do this.

“I was an American general

The question of who should be financed by this job. Some questions almost fell into the United States.

One solution may be to raise South Korea’s bill – but North Korea’s issue has been politicized here.

The Liberal Opposition Party is trying to improve relations with Pyongyang, there is no way to Malfare. In the next week’s presidential election, the party would turn off the speakers if the party was elected to Frontrunner.

However, Mr. Park remains hopeful. “It is best that the North Korean government cannot enter the heads of people and implement the information built over the years,” he said.

Since technologies are developing, it is convinced that the spread of confidence will be easier. “In a long run, I believe that it will really be what it is changing North Korea.
