North Korea has started removing propaganda loudspeakers along the border with South Korea. This follows South Korea's earlier removal of its own speakers and President Lee Jae Myung's focus on improving inter-Korean relations. The loudspeaker broadcasts, featuring K-pop and news from the South and unsettling noises from the North, had been a source of complaints from border residents. While the removal is seen as a positive step, South Korea's military will continue monitoring the situation.
