The “Głos Wolności” program has been broadcast since 1962 by a psychological war unit, subject to the Ministry of Defense.
The broadcasts contained information from abroad and K-Pop music. The broadcasts were suspended and resumed depending on the state of inter -core relations. Previously, they were resumed after a six -year break in 2010 after Pyongyang's attack on the South Korean Cheonan ship.
The decision of the Ministry of Defense is part of the policy of the President of South Korea. Li Dze Mjung, who after coming to power in June strives to improve relations with Pyongyang and declares building “military trust” in relations with the neighbor. Seul has already taken similar steps, including He turned off the speakers located along the demilitarized zone, through which propaganda content was also broadcast.
North Korea rejected these gestures. At the end of August, the regime aged called Li Li Hypocrite, claiming that “he revealed his true face as a maniac of confrontation” and pretends to be a desire to improve the relationship with the North. The authorities in Pyongyang stated that their “position would remain unchanged” and will not give up nuclear weapons, whose possession is an “inevitable choice.”
Both Korean countries have been formally at war for over 70 years, because the armed conflict of 1950–1953 ended with signing a truce, not a peace treaty.
