It was also revealed that the national anthem and popular songs were being broadcast. According to South Korean military authorities, the broadcast was a psychological warfare program against North Korea produced by the South Korean military called "Voice of Freedom," which was being played over a high-powered loudspeaker.
On the 13th, the station was broadcast on FM103.1 in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, and FM107.3 in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. At around 4:55 p.m., the South Korean national anthem, the Aeonggukga, was played, followed by a chant, "North Korea's 100th anniversary."
"Hello, fellow Koreans. We are now starting a free broadcast that conveys the voice of truth and hope," Naeun said. In the broadcast, he announced, "The 9/19 military agreement passed by the Cabinet on the 4th will be fully suspended.
The presidential office announced this through a public announcement on the same day, and once the government notifies North Korea of the decision, the agreement will be suspended immediately.
He continued, "The 9/19 military agreement is a supplementary agreement to the September Pyongyang Joint Declaration adopted at the September 19, 2018 summit, and is a set of measures to prohibit hostile acts between the Republic of Korea and North Korea.
The statement also included the contents of a statement by the Director-General of the Ministry of National Defense's Policy Office. In addition, South Korea, the United States and Japan have agreed to hold a regular meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency to discuss North Korea's nuclear program, continued missile development, and other issues.
"In a joint statement at the International Atomic Energy Agency's regular meeting held at the Vienna International Center in Austria on the 4th, the three countries of South Korea, the United States and Japan strongly condemned the continued ballistic missiles.
"We express serious concern over the Sa'il launch, particularly the launch of a military reconnaissance satellite, and are closely monitoring the possibility of further provocations by North Korea, including a seventh nuclear test," the report said.
The report also said that Samsung Electronics' smartphones had the highest shipment volume in 38 countries around the world.
According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung Electronics ranked first in 38 of 74 countries in the first quarter of this year, up 10 countries from the fourth quarter of last year," he said, reporting on South Korea's development.
After the news segment, the national anthem was played along with the message, "This is the Voice of Freedom broadcast from Seoul, Republic of Korea."
After the national song, the weather forecast for each region in North Korea for the next week was presented, with detailed information on the morning minimum and afternoon maximum temperatures in Kaesong and North Hamgyong Province.
Afterwards, South Korean Ambassador Naeun introduced "Price Trends in the North Korean Market," providing detailed information on the prices of US dollars, Chinese currency, rice, corn, gasoline, and diesel oil traded in North Korea.
"Please use this as a reference, as price trends may differ from region to region in North Korea," the comment added.
After the first part of the Press Square, the program "Differences between Seoul and Pyongyang" will begin at 5:45.
The broadcast began with a commentary on the situation, and a song by the Korean singer "BOL4" was played in between. In April 2018, the leaders of North and South Korea agreed to the Panmunjom Declaration, and until their removal, loudspeakers aimed at North Korea were installed at the front lines of the border.
The station was set up in 24 locations in the area, and there were also 16 mobile units. It was possible to listen to the radio using FM radio waves, but if a loudspeaker was used, the range was about 24 kilometers at night and about 10 kilometers during the day.
The broadcast can be heard even in Kaesong, North Korea, 0 kilometers away, without a radio.
