South Korea’s military has shut down loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda along the inter-Korean border

South Korea’s military has been ordered to stop playing K-Pop music and political propaganda in the direction of North Korea through loudspeakers. Seoul suspended the broadcasts along its demilitarised border on Wednesday morning as part of attempts by its new Left-wing government to cool tensions with its neighbour.

North Korea appears to have stopped broadcasting loud noises towards the South, Seoul's military said Thursday, one day after South Korea halted its anti-Pyongyang loudspeaker campaign near the demilitarized zone.
