South Korea halts propaganda broadcasts along border DW 06/12/2025
Briefly

On June 12, 2025, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung announced the cessation of loudspeaker propaganda against North Korea to foster peace on the Korean Peninsula. This move, viewed as a key campaign promise, led to North Korea appearing to cease its own loudspeaker broadcasts targeting the South. The decision represents a significant effort to alleviate military tension, reflecting Lee's commitment to restoring inter-Korean relations. While the cessation marks progress, the future of diplomatic relations remains unclear due to North Korea's past rejection of engagement efforts.
South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung ordered the discontinuation of anti-North loudspeakers to promote peace, leading to a reciprocal halt of North Korean broadcasts.
Kang Yu-jung described the decision as a 'proactive step' to reduce military tensions while aiming to restore trust in inter-Korean relations.
