North Korea balloons

North Korea balloons are a controversial means of sending information into the closed-off country. Activist groups and individuals use helium balloons to send leaflets, USB drives, and other materials across the border in an attempt to inform the citizens of North Korea about the outside world. However, this practice is met with opposition from the North Korean government, which considers it an act of aggression.

Concerns and Risks

There are concerns about the effectiveness and safety of using balloons to send information to North Korea. Some argue that the balloons may endanger the safety of residents near the border or escalate tensions between the two countries. Despite these risks, many activists continue to use balloons as a means of reaching out to North Koreans and shining a light on the human rights abuses in the country.
