Han Ki-ho, a professor at the Ajou Institute for Unification, said North Korea’s halt in loudspeaker broadcasts may be a reciprocal gesture following South Korea’s suspension of its own broadcasts after a year-long standoff.
“It’s too early to make a full assessment,” he said, while adding that easing tensions “allows local residents to regain a sense of normalcy and creates conditions to better manage accidental clashes.”
With the 80th anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea approaching, Han also suggested Pyongyang may be reluctant to escalate further. “The North will likely monitor diplomatic messaging from the upcoming G7 summit in Canada closely.”
