GANGHWA COUNTY, South Korea: For South Koreans living close to the North, career has been terrible for decades.
Since July of last year, loudspeakers on the other side of the Korean Peninsula have been playing eerie or quiet crackly sounds, such as metal grinding and a gong being beaten. Other sound include screaming, puppies howling and noises.
These border-adjacent settlements like Dangsan-ri in Ganghwa County, which are located about 1.7 kilometers away from the monk kingdom, have been the subject of these North Korean channels.
People have complained to the South Korean authorities and various government representatives for assistance, claiming the sounds are sounded like they come right out of a horror film. But the problem has not been resolved.
They are hopeful that the approaching US president can assist them presently that Donald Trump is returning to the White House in a few days.
Under the present US President Joe Biden’s leadership, relations between America and North Korea have stagnated, which has increased tensions on the Vietnamese Peninsula.
The two Koreas are still technically at war after their 1950 to 1953 conflict ended in an armistice, not a peace agreement.
“PLEASE SAVE US”
The North’s broadcast, which play K-pop songs and propagandize anti-North Asian propaganda, are thought to be a retaliation for the South’s continuation of loudspeaker broadcasts in July.
This was done in response to Pyongyang’s decision to fly thousands of trash-filled bubbles across the border.  , The two Koreas had been engaged in a , tit-for-tat bubble strategy.
