I mean… Yeah, it makes sense
You don’t want our balloons, fine - we don’t want your balloons.
But they gave North Korea spicy korean dramas and the hippest Kpop music and in return NK sends used toilet paper
Both are sending their biggest exports.
I think the message is that South Korean culture and western propaganda is garbage to them. They are saying, “send us garbage, we’ll return the favor in kind”.
I think each Korea just sent the best of their culture!
Fuck the North Korean government, but that’s actually kinda funny.
The answer: unhinged passive aggression (from a nuclear armed state).
North Korea has deployed hundreds of trash balloons containing everything from used toilet paper to cigarette butts, a move it claims is in response to South Korean activists sending balloons with political pamphlets and USB drives with K-dramas.
