Balloon War: North Korea sent dollars and a romantic series "Winter Sonata"

After the official Pyongyang sent packs with garbage in South Korea, activists responded with bullets with banners, dollars and flash drives with K-POP hits and clips. There is a voltage between Pyongyang and Seoul. And the "war" of balloons continues.

In response to the garbage packages sent from North Korea, the Movement Activists "Fighters for the Free North Korea" sent bullets with more pleasant content: dollars and flash drives with K-POP Hits, as well as the most popular Domrama "Winter Sonata" in 2002. About it reports CNN. Members of Fighters for a Free North Korea (FFNK) sent giant balloons early in the morning on Thursday.

The video shows how they fly away, some pull giant posters visible from afar, while others carry smaller plastic bags. The parcels for their neighbors from the DPRK are activists, most of whom are fugitives from North Korea-put 200,000 leaflets condemning North Korean leader Kim Jong in, 5,000 USB drives with South Korean music clips and TVs, as well as 2,000 one-dol notes.

For many years, groups such as FFNK have been sent to such balloons with objects prohibited in the conditions of isolated totalitarian dictatorship, in particular with food, medicines, radios, propaganda leaflets and fragments of South Korean news. The leader of Fighters for a Free North Korea Pak San Hak, who fled south many years ago, called them the materials they sent "letters of truth and freedom.

" According to him, when he was younger and lived in the DPRK, it was these balloons that gave him a rare opportunity to look at the outside world. He remembered how he was on the 1992 city square when he "saw a huge balloon in the sky. " "This round thing suddenly burst, then the postcards fell from the sky. I knew that I could not look at these things, so I put one in my pocket and locked at home in the bathroom to read it," Hak recalls.

The postcard he put in his pocket contained stories about the North Korean defectors and their escape, some of which crossed the border of China before going to South Korea. Eight years later, Pak fled from the north, arriving in South Korea in 2000 and began his mission to depart balloons across the 2006 border.

The postcards he sends contains information about Kim family, including the murder of the leader Kim Jong Nam's leader, as well as booklets about the economic and political development of South Korea, including photos of Seoul's main airport and fighters. "South Korea is not an American colony or wasteland of humanity, as I learned in North Korea. We have sent money, medicines, facts, truth and love, and instead we are sent to dirt and garbage? It is an inhuman and barbaric deed," he said.

In May 2024, North Korea responded to the departure of her own giant balloons south, which contained garbage, faeces, pieces of paper and plastic, as well as that the South Korean authorities called "dirt". According to the State Media of the DPRK, Pyongyan, citing the Deputy Minister of Defense of North Korea, Kan Kan Ira said he had sent 3500 balloons with 15 tons of garbage in total.

These balloons began to land in the south last week, temporarily interrupting the flights of aircraft and prompting the power to warn the residents to stay at home. As of Monday, the South Korean military found about 1,000 balloons. The incident also intensified the tense relationship between the two countries.

South Korea announced this week, which would restore "all hostilities" near the demarcation line, suspending the 2018 agreement signed by both countries in a short period of relatively warm relations. And the sister of Kim Jong -in and the head of the propaganda DPRK machine Kim Yo Jhong said that balloons with garbage are "heartfelt gifts to the goblins of liberal democracy.

" There is no legal grounds for ordinary citizens to send balloons to North Korea after the South Korean Constitutional Court overturned the law in 2023, which prohibits the transfer of leaflets and other information. We will remind, the DPRK has already stated that the balls will not start the balls, because Seoul promised to renew broadcasts on the speakers on the border and turn on the audio message for his neighbors with criticism pop.
