North Korea announced on the 20th that it plans a large-scale leaflet (pira) distribution campaign against South Korea, stating, "Once you experience it, you will truly understand how disgusting it feels."


The North Korean state media, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), reported in an article titled "Full-scale preparations underway for a large-scale anti-South leaflet distribution struggle as an outburst of intense anti-enemy will" that "Our people's retaliatory holy war has moved on to the anti-South leaflet distribution struggle to punish the sinful gang," and that preparations for large-scale distribution are underway across various regions.


The agency stated, "Publishing institutions are mass-producing anti-enemy leaflets to indiscriminately cover South Korean authorities who have mocked the hopes and expectations of the entire nation contained in the North-South agreement with two years of deceitful rhetoric."


It added, "Documents and accusations that vividly denounce the crimes of the South Korean authorities, who have ruined inter-Korean relations and lost public support by following a pro-American line, are piling up like mountains," and "Youth students at universities at all levels are fully prepared to carry out large-scale leaflet distribution struggles once the opening and advancement into the inter-Korean border areas are approved."


The agency claimed, "Crime inevitably leads to punishment. Since they have done wrong, they must receive it in return, and once they experience it, they will truly understand how disgusting it feels," adding, "South Korean authorities will go through truly distressing times."

North Korea is reportedly undertaking preparatory work for a large-scale leaflet distribution campaign targeting South Korea, according to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 20th.

On the same day, KCNA also released several photos on its website showing residents wearing masks while printing and organizing anti-South leaflets.


North Korea revealed a photo showing cigarette butts being thrown indiscriminately onto a pile of leaflets that had a composite image of President Moon Jae-in holding a cup and drinking, with the phrase "Already had it all... even the North-South agreement" written on it, clearly indicating an intention to defame President Moon.


Earlier, on the 17th, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army announced a plan for hostile military actions against the South, including a "large-scale anti-enemy leaflet distribution struggle" by the people.


Meanwhile, amid rising tensions over the leaflets, a defector group that had planned a rice PET bottle floating event on Seokmodo Island, Ganghwa County, Incheon, on the 21st, decided to temporarily suspend the event.


Park Jung-oh, the representative of the defector group Keunsam, announced on the group's website on the 19th, "Due to the threats and intimidation from Kim Jong-un and Kim Yo-jong, and the resulting anxiety among the people of the Republic of Korea, the new rice sending event is temporarily suspended."



The government has been making every effort to block the leaflet distribution activities of defector groups, warning of punishments and initiating procedures to revoke the corporate registration of defector organizations.
