Seoul has urged North Korea to abandon plans to send anti-South Korean leaflets across their shared border.
North Korea says it has 12 million propaganda leaflets printed and 3,000 balloons ready to carry them South across the border.
It follows a week of worsening relations after a propaganda campaign by group of North Korean defectors.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Seoul.

Kim Jong-un Kim Jong lol
Dustin Tacohands I love sister
No in that way but maybe
You mean Kim Yo Jung the sister of kim Jong Un
Oops
North Korea should realize that nobody likes bullies. As simple as that.
Nobody likes brainwashing either and they do it on a insane level
This is because of balloons how insecure can they be
I LIKE TO SEE MEXICO SEND LEAFLETS TO THE U.S. SAYING WHEN CAN WE HAVE OUR LAND BACK.
@Muhammad Ibrahim Jan As also the ballons form North Korea, now being send to South Corea, of which South Corea is so concerned about!
@Mike 72 LOL the NK leadership is EVIL they dont deserve to be able to hide that fact You can sign deals all day but you cant hide the truth about what horrible leaders NK has HAHA
@Hans Otto Kroeger balloons from south Korea to north. Are send always. Now north Korea is sending back the balloons. Supreme Kim shooting balloons at south Korea. South Korea 10 minute to live only. Those balloons have nukes dont u know
@Muhammad Ibrahim Jan Sure; they have “micro-nukes” like only North Korea is able to build, so little that they even can’t be detected. LOL
But why is North Korea so concerned about these microscopic “nukes”?
Nena 99 Luftballons 🎈
Why not just do a showdown and winner get the korean peninsula
Popcorns
@J Wyd well us only support because they need something in that country so goes for mine uh when did the west stop interupting other countries business
@Muhammad Ibrahim Jan thats why ypu dont trust an Allie thats has so many many allies
The winner will be the US,they are the ones who are causing trouble,halting any progress of peace and with war they will be the ones to profit as the South will seek their help.
@Poros lol then they will ask for other nation again to seek for help just like what happen to korean war then after that they take all credits thats how usa works…
*Kim Jong un leader*
Way to throw away loads of effort to appease both sides and then it all go down the toilet.
For F#$% sake!!?
Were dealing with NK this is the Norm
This isn’t for nothing. North Korea needs money from concessions. And thanks to the pandemic and sanctions they’re extra desperate for them.
So this people see themselves as a hero?
Freedom of expression,why SK would be worry about NK propaganda. Are there some truth in what NK is saying.
YEP
share same blood oddly stand behind the outsider United State America.
Send all this people’s back to North Korea give south Korea so much problem no peace in future don’t let them come to south Korea.✌️🙏😭🤔
Kim the fatty 3 should understand that Anti govt propaganda causes trouble only for dictators and not in democracies.people in democracy question the govt anyways
THE PROBLEM IS THE U.S DON’T HAVE A DEMOCRACY, THE U.S GIVES YOU A FAKE ILLUSION OF A SO CALLED DEMOCRACY WHILE STILL KILLING BLACK PEOPLE. AND THE U.S CALLS EVERYONE A DICTATOR BUT THEMSELVES TELLING OTHER GOVERNMENTS WHAT THEY CAN OR CANNOT DO IN THEIR OWN SOVERNGTY. THE U.S WAS NEVER A DEMOCRACY. ITS A LAND RULE BY TERRORIST CRIMINALS IN WASHINGTON.
China I don’t know anything
pls look at the bigger picture of the true why North Korea making big retaliatory like this .is all china pulling the strings from behind. the master(china) so u guy want my Dog(North Korea) stop his hostility. i(china) can do it .so what the return of me.(stop saying covid-19 from china, stop support hong kong People and ETC).
Only fat jong un is mad
Nothing moves the jong
@Dustin Tacohands inside he’s a winy lil obessed kid.
@Tintin Supz i would be to if i was raised like that
both sides acting like children… you stop propaganda. no you stop propaganda. okay, so let`s build a boarder and stare at each other and look angry.
The North has every right to stand for their Freedom and Glory
No matter how rich the South Koreans may be a Slave shall always remain humiliated and ridiculed
? who is the slave? why are you so idiot?
PERFECT THEY SHOuLD ✊🏼 it’s complete PAYBACK 🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵
North Korea would have to be the birth place and the beginning of the narcissist…such challenging, childish behaviors from that lot. Could some brave person or people help the poor staving prisoners of north Korea?
balloon war!!!
Huh? What?! 🤣🤣🤣. No worries then. North Korea won’t dare starting a war. 😆😆😆
A tyrannical terrorist state getting all worked up over balloons 😛 2020 is completely nuts
South Korea said, I do not care, the important thing is that our country is a developed and prosperous country.
and food is very much available and does not lack anything
Except for safety and demanding way of life.
North Korea and China make good bed partners
Not the people of North Korea. Specifically, Kim Jong Un. When he gets angry, all North Koreans have to fake anger, otherwise…
Propaganda wars 😂
North Korea is nothing but a bully looking for attention. Nobody likes you
As always this is all a bluff from North Korea. They can never make serious moves or else they’ll be quickly cancelled by South Korea/U.S.. The whole issue has to be resolved internally by their people. Just keep sending the leaflets, balloons, and snacks. You never know how quickly a coup can move and sweep the Kim’s aside. I hope I’ll be alive to see North Korea fall and unite that whole country.
North Korea and China
Both are shameless country
The reason why its important for sout korea decreases tension is because mandatory conscript is demanding and become a mandate for everyone in sk making life harder as well as safety and potentially nuclear explosion that could wipe Seoul which is very near the border.
Who are you?. To say that, north korea is a great country. Because they obeyed the order of great leader.
North Korea launching their own balloons filled with anti south propaganda into the South? Go ahead. I’m very sure that there are a lot of S.Koreans just trying to find a reason to defect to the North…..
North Korea’s population – 25 million
North Korea’s balloon population – 12 million
North Korea’s population not hungry – 1
now that the U.S meats are CONTAMINATED we will see who THE NEXT COUNTRY be hungry
Mike 72 Lol not us
Kim is already dead btw
Fr? Evidence and source?
😂😂😂😂😂 so petty 😂😂😂😂😂
South Korea: 👁👄👁 ok…….
I am 100% sure that it’ll make the majority of south koreans defect and mass-migrating to the north for a better life, free of starvation
North Korea just wants money and is using this as an excuse to escalate and extract concessions from world community
Trump will save north Korea from south by nuking south😂😂😂😂😂😂. Kim and trump best friends. South Korea needs Japan but. Trump and Kim best friends.
why did you guys delete my comment????
Lol you again?
Supreme leader when will u invite me to Pyongyang for shooting nukes at south Korea😂😂😂
Kim Jong un when will you become slim Jong un
You probably ate it
U R Geh
the south is prepared for anything including nukes, hacking, biological attacks, the artillery, and spies. they have all bubles covered in case of asymmetric warfare.
look what activist group doing , they do whatever they want even they’ve been warned
Thats what happen when theres to much freedom and only cares about them i know their intention was good but the method they used was wrong guess have to wait who starts the ww3
Isn’t it strange that all the countries are turning hostile at a time of coronavirus namely China, Nepal, Pakistan, North Korea. All these countries are under the influence of China. There is definately a method to this madness. China wants to dominate and crush any country that is coming close to it.
I LIKE SEE TO SEE MEXICO SEND LEAFLETS TO THE U.S. SAYING WHEN CAN WE GET OUR LAND BACK. AND NATIVES SEND LEAFLETS TO CAPITAL HILL ASKING WHEN WILL WHITE PEOPLE GET ON SPACE X GO TO MARS AND OFF OUR LAND
Maybe because we Mexicans aren’t a bunch of snowflakes, maybe because the 3rd largest racial ethnicty in Mexico is white after Indigenous and Mestizo
What is amazing is south korea is sending rice in a bottle, to feed north koreans, that says alot.
Provocating is not solution but make high tension
🙄wowzers tge north gf as to free itself from those FAT PARASITES called Tge Kim’s. They are truly the pigs written about by Orwell!!!
Bluff
Ignore what the Kims want.
Send more leaflets
Hahahahaha
North Koreans wouldn’t be starving if the US didn’t economic sanction them. I’ll bet those ‘human scums’ NK are talking about are supported by the NED/CIA. Instead of being drag along on a leash by the US, spineless SK need to step up if they want peace with NK.
Lol they still haven’t age since ww2
Still using leaflets
Hello social media
What other way would they spread their little pamphlets across into SK? Not like they can throw it. Or not that they can use a cannon. Half the population probably doesnt even know what a cannon or motar is. Lmao
@Crayon_Logic44 lol
India , south Korea in same kind of situation. Crazy mad neighbour.
Still south korea is in better position bcz for India the country part is Islamic country.
Cant china say the same? Chinese people probably think Indians are the crazy ones. Not that I really care to dabble myself into that tho
@Crayon_Logic44
Chinees doesn’t know about anything.
They know what CCP tells them. China attack other countries territories To divert situation. Its not only India , its japan , south China sea, honk kong , taiwan , Taipei bhutan , Tibet etc.
Because CCP knows that one single internal protest can destroy communism in china.
The whole world is fade with china , what are you talking about, r u Pakistani?
I’m gonna try and cater my comment for Al Jazeera audience to score likes: American CIA and Israel blew up the liaison office. They want oil!
Al Jazeera is anti Indian.
Great idea North Koreans.
More Freedom and Bible Balloons right back at you North Korea!
china china china…
How ridiculous that N.Korea is now behaving just like S.Korea is doing to Japan. So, ultimately they both are the same kind of people XD
Madness. Stop provocations
I’m sure the Covid-19 virus will be impregnate in each leaflet the North send. It’s time to deal with this country once and for all. Even though the logistics will be challenging, South Korea has to move their Capital South, out of Artillery range. Then give the North, what they’ve been asking for.
Cuz they don’t want party baloons, they want Hot-aired baloons.
