Pyongyang [North Korea], June 6: Even though Pyongyang declared an end to this so-called " balloon war ", Seoul is still determined to respond fiercely. South Korea's National Security Council has recommended that the government completely cancel the comprehensive military agreement that the two sides signed when South Korean President Moon Jae-in met North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un in 2018. The core content of this agreement is that the two sides commit to completely ending all hostile actions against each other. In fact, this agreement was no longer complied with by both sides when South Korea in November 2023 cited North Korea's launch of a spy satellite to stop implementing certain contents of the agreement. Afterwards, North Korea announced it would stop implementing the agreement.
What makes Pyongyang very upset is that Seoul intends to restore the operation of the giant sound system in the military border area as a propaganda tool. The propaganda product not only broadcasts information but and K-pop music, which is banned in North Korea. After the balloon war came the psychological and propaganda war.
All of the above developments signal a trend of increasing tension and confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang's continuous missile launches and the change of president in South Korea - Mr. Moon Jae-in's successor in South Korea, Mr. Yoon Suk-Yeol, implemented a tough foreign policy towards North Korea. And Mr. Yoon's reconciliation with Japan , strengthening the alliance with the US and promoting the trilateral alliance with the US and Japan have made recent setbacks in the relationship between the two regions on the peninsula become a thing. inevitable.
