Gyeonggi Province Governor ”welcomes” the suspension of loudspeakers aimed at North Korea, expects North Korea to respond = South Korea
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's campaign promise to broadcast loudspeakers to North Korea was canceled on the 11th. Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon said, "The suspension of loudspeaker broadcasts is a sign of the ongoing conflict between North and South Korea.
"This will be the first step in restoring trust," he said. On the 11th, Governor Kim posted on his Fei Subook, "The loudspeaker broadcasts against North Korea have finally stopped. I wholeheartedly welcome this."
Governor Kim said, "The residents of the border area have suffered great anxiety and pain from dirty balloons, anti-North Korea leaflets and loudspeaker noise. I also visited the residents of Taeseongdong village twice last year.
"The situation is fundamentally one in which measures to stop military confrontation are urgently needed, and this loudspeaker broadcast was
"Cancelling the plan will be the first step in restoring trust between the two Koreas," he said, adding, "Gyeonggi Province deeply sympathizes with the decision made by the new government and hopes for a sincere response from North Korea."
At present, North Korea has not stopped its loudspeaker broadcasts to the South. The "loudspeaker conflict" between the two Koreas began in June last year when North Korea sent out a "filthy balloon."
In response to this, the Yun Seok-yol administration resumed loudspeaker broadcasts to North Korea. In response, North Korea expanded its loudspeaker broadcasts to South Korea, causing residents in the border areas to suffer from noise pollution.
However, in the latest measure against North Korea, the term "temporary suspension" was used, rather than "suspension," which means a complete halt to broadcasting.
This appears to suggest that if North Korea provokes South Korea with noise pollution or drops dirty balloons in the border area, it may launch another anti-North Korea broadcast.
Prior to this, Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yoo-jung spoke at the Presidential Office in Yongsan, Seoul that afternoon.
"President Lee Jae Myung has instructed our military authorities to stop broadcasting to North Korea using loudspeakers installed in frontline areas as of 2 p.m. today," he said at a press conference.
"This measure is in keeping with the government's determination to restore trust in inter-Korean relations and establish peace on the Korean Peninsula, and is in keeping with the promise that President Lee made to the public during the presidential election," Kang said.
It's a case of putting into practice what we do," he added.
