South Korea to Use Kpop to Bombard the North
The South Korean Army might use Kpop music to bombard North Korea.
After the fifth Nuke test, the South Korean bids to use the loudspeaker to play pop music as part of a psychological warfare.
The electronic display is capable of showing videos of Kpop artists as well as domestic and world news. The South is also considering a mobile display capable of reaching viewers up to 15 kilometers.
The army assumes that installing and increasing the number of loudspeakers will have great effect on citizens residing nearby the two nations' borders including sharing of culture and stressing democracy.
In 2004, an electronic display was initially utilized by the South.
RT reported that this is not the first time the South attacked the North with its iconic pop music. Last January, the army continued its pro-democracy campaign right after the fourth nuke test of Kim Jong-Un's regime.
In an interview with CNN, it was mentioned that Bigbang's hit song, "Bang Bang Bang" was added to the propaganda playlist.
The band said that the use of their 2015 song at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a sign of their growing fame. Bigbang also sees it as an opportunity to win fans from the isolated nation.
Member Taeyang said "It's amusing. Just the fact that it was used in such a place. Especially because the title is "Bang, Bang, Bang."
Other songs that were included in broadcasting propaganda of the South following the fourth nuclear test include "100 Years of Life," "Me Gustas Tu," and "Let Us Just Love."
Citizens of the North are not allowed to listen to Kpop and only given a choice of listening to state-owned radio or television stations. Despite the ban, sources say that South Korea music is making waves in Kim Jong Un's country through smuggled DVD's and USB sticks.
