US EditionSouth Korea Suspends Border Loudspeaker Broadcasts to North Korea
- South Korea halted loudspeaker propaganda broadcasts toward North Korea on Wednesday afternoon under its new administration.
- This action follows the election of liberal President Lee Jae-myung last week, who pledged to improve ties after hawkish ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol was impeached and removed.
- South Korea resumed these broadcasts last year in retaliation for North Korea's trash-laden balloon campaign, which escalated tensions during Yoon's hardline rule.
- A ministry spokesperson said the halt aims to "restore trust," while analyst Hong Min noted it signals Lee’s intent to fulfill his promise of no hostile intent and possible military talks revival.
- The suspension represents the new government’s first step toward easing conflict, though residents note North Korean broadcast noise continues and emphasize dialogue is needed to reduce tensions fully.
