A South Korean activist group has sent 10 large balloons over North Korea filled with K-pop and flyers with a message against dictator Kim Jong-Un.
This despite North Korea having threatened to send even more balloons with excrement and trash over the border if the activist balloons do not stop.
North Korea has recently sent foul-smelling balloons as a response to activists sending flyers with criticism of the regime in Pyongyang over the border.
The South Korean activist group, Activists for a Free North Korea, led by North Korean defector Park Sang-Hak, said on Thursday that they had sent up 10 balloons. They were filled with 200,000 flyers against Pyongyang, USB flash drives with K-pop songs and South Korean TV programs, and thousands of one-dollar bills.
The same group sent balloons earlier in May with 2,000 USB flash drives filled with popular South Korean pop songs and TV programs.
In North Korea, it is strictly forbidden to consume South Korean popular culture. In January of this year, two teenagers were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for watching South Korean TV dramas.
