South Korea has suspended its military radio broadcast, “Voice of Freedom,” to North Korea for the first time in 15 years, aiming to ease cross-border tensions, the Defense Ministry said Monday. The program, which shares news, K-pop, and economic updates, has long been used for psychological operations against the North, according to Reuters.

President Lee Jae Myung has also ended border loudspeaker broadcasts, signaling a push for dialogue, though North Korea has so far rejected talks. This week, Kim Jong Un is set to visit China for a military parade with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.
