Ah, I see. The south keeps sending balloons filled with bullshit, so the north is just returning the gesture.

Yup, that's what I got from it.
the dprk does a little trolling
Ok, since when did dirt owl become a DPRK advisor?
North Korean defector groups occasionally launch balloons containing materials denouncing the Kim Jong-un regime.
Shhhhhh! Noooooo! That’s too much context!!!
We all know what DPRK rightfully should be lobbing over to their neighbor
Sure, but you have to remember that DPRK wants unification, not to completely destroy SK.
I know, but I can fantasize.
kind of them to send manure to help out the south's agriculture
This is bullshit though isn't it?
I hope it's true.
Me too! But I saw it in the BBC first so I'm skeptical.
could be cattle, yeah
JoongAng Ilbo is considered by some critics as part of Chojoongdong (Korean: 조중동, CJD), a pejorative term that refers to the three highly circulated conservative newspapers in South Korea including JoongAng Ilbo.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_JoongAng_Daily is the english version of it...
I guess the desired reaction from liberals is "Oh no! Those dastardly North Koreans!" But I'm like "I hope they send more balloons next time!"
Fuckin got em!
Press Statement of Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK Kim Yo Jong http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2024/202405/news29/20240529-13ee.html
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement under the title "The ROK is not entitled to criticize the freedom of expression of the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" on Wednesday:
As already warned by the DPRK vice minister of National Defence, a large amount of waste paper and rubbish are being scattered in the border and deep areas of the ROK from the night of May 28.
According to the ROK media, waste paper and rubbish were found not only in the border area with the DPRK but also in Seoul and other parts of the ROK.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the ROK puppet army said that the DPRK is scattering a large number of balloons over the ROK from last night. It urged the DPRK to stop such an act at once, claiming that it is a clear violation of international law, an act of seriously threatening the security of ROK people and an unethical and lowbrow act.
We have tried something they have always been doing, but I cannot understand why they are making a fuss as if they were hit by shower of bullets.
After all, they hoisted a white flag just one day after they themselves have been exposed to the despicable article-scattering which the DPRK has called into question and demanded a stop for years.
I doubt whether those in the ROK could only see the balloons flying southwards without catching sight of the balloons flying northwards.
Scum-like clans of the ROK are now blatantly claiming that their leaflet-scattering towards the DPRK is "freedom of expression" and that the corresponding act of the DPRK is an "obvious violation of international law".
Are the "freedom of expression" and "international law" defined according to the direction in which balloons fly?
It is the height of impudence.
It is an opportunity to reconfirm how clumsy and brazen the ROK clans are.
The ROK clans must be subject to due pains as they tried to scatter leaflets, the political agitation rubbish slandering the idea and system of the DPRK regarded by all its people as sacred, and inject their mixed ideas raised at cesspools to the DPRK, and made a serious mockery of our people by scattering the cheap money and trifles which even mongrel dogs wouldn't like.
If they experience how unpleasant the feeling of picking up filth is and how tired it is, they will know that it is not easy to dare talk about freedom of expression as to the scattering near border area.
Today, I will get the following stand into shape:
"As the leaflet-scattering to the ROK belongs to our people's freedom of expression and provides the people in the ROK with the right to know, there is a limit for the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to immediately stop it. I courteously seek the ROK government's consent. …"
The ROK clans cannot deprive the DPRK people of their righteous "freedom of expression".
They should continue to pick up rubbish scattered by our people, regarding them really as "sincere presents" to the goblins of liberal democracy who are crying for the "guarantee for freedom of expression".
We make it clear that we will respond to the ROK clans on case-to-case basis by scattering rubbish dozens of times more than those being scattered to us, in the future.
Real life shitposting.

I'm embarassed it took me this long to come up with that.
How does sending shit balloons to South Korea signify your distaste for your North Korean leadership? That makes zero sense.
They'll say everything signifies distaste. "Look at all those people cheering and smiling out of fear!"
There’s been some talk of the DPRK freeing the Yeonpyeong Island from the “South Korean” puppet regime, especially since Pyongyang has on many occasions declared that the island is legally in the “North” or the DPRK, as per the ceasefire agreement because the maritime border was snuck into the agreement AFTER Kim Il Sung signed the ceasefire hoping (correctly) that the DPRK was too focused on recovering from the brutality of the war to fight back.
In 1999 the DPRK formally declared that part of liberated territory and presented their case to the UN that the US and its puppet government must either return the island, or offer to pay the DPRK with either a basket of food, fuel, concrete, medicine and fertilizer and/or negotiate a removal of sanctions. Obviously the US has refused to address it and talks with the puppet despots of “South Korea” have been fruitless given that occupied Seoul has no power over its “own” territory and that is handled by Washington’s regime.
The Anglo originated settler colonial state of “The United States of America” which is an occupied nation itself is built on top of nearly 250 indigenous nations and the corpses the largest genocide of human history with the conservative estimate of 10 million people slaughtered, or up to 95% of the indigenous populations of those nations, expressed outrage when Pyongyang earlier this year shelled the island with 350 pieces of explosive ordnance carefully calculated to cause no civilian or military injuries or casualties but also refuse to address that the occupation of the island is in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Real ~~king~~ prole shit right there. Keep them coming, Comrade Kim! The peddlers of imperialist lies deserve all this and so much more!
Proper funny innit
