North Korea Rebuilding Propaganda Speakers on the DMZ
|I remember the good old days of North Korean propaganda music on the DMZ and U.S. troops station at the JSA may get to experience it again:
North Korea is reinstalling propaganda loudspeakers in regions along the inter-Korean border after removing them under a 2018 summit agreement with South Korea, military officials said Monday.
After the summit between President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on April 27, 2018, the two Koreas agreed to halt all hostile acts against each other and eliminate their means, including broadcasting through loudspeakers and distribution of leaflets.
According to the authorities, North Korea has been detected setting up loudspeakers again “in multiple places” inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) from around Sunday. It had dismantled dozens of loudspeakers in around 40 areas near the tense border in a first action to follow up on the Panmunjom Declaration.

Time to crank up the KPOP again!
Might be more fun, initially, to mix up the k pop with nice church music. Those wormy norks have less opportunity for church than even the folks in Seoul…
I was at the border in 2018. The first trip was to the 4th tunnel near the Punchbowl. The other visit was to the 2nd Tunnel at Chorwon. Both times I heard the South Korean loudspeakers, and shortly thereafter, they were taken down.
