The group of abductees canceled the distribution of leaflets to North Korea today, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, this morning, a press conference was held here at the same time by an abductee group trying to fly leaflets to North Korea and residents trying to stop it.

In order to prevent possible clashes, 1,000 police officers were dispatched and car walls were installed, which was confusing.

At the rally, which lasted for about an hour from 10 o'clock, both sides voiced the need for leaflets against North Korea and the reasons for opposition.

As police control took place, there was no major conflict that was feared.

However, in the process, there was a commotion, such as some members of a group opposing the anti-North Korean leaflet being transferred to the location of a group meeting in the North and being restrained by the police.

The abductees' family gathering, a group of abductees, gathered here at 11 a.m. to distribute 50,000 leaflets to North Korea.

After the press conference, we were going to fly fliers to North Korea, but we suddenly canceled the plan.

The group said it would push ahead with the event, saying North Korea would stop broadcasting South Korea or spraying garbage balloons first, but changed its position in the face of strong protests from residents and opposition groups.

However, he said he would continue to try to send leaflets to the North unless the North stops broadcasting to the South and flying trash balloons.

In the meantime, more than 100 people, including residents of Paju Civilian Line Village and civic groups, also gathered with tractors to protest.

Residents criticized North Korea for its leaflets, saying that North Korea's daily life is collapsing by increasing the noise level of loudspeakers in the South, and that the risk of war is increasing.

Gyeonggi-do Province has deployed more than 70 special judicial police to prepare for the North's sending of leaflets by North Korean abductees, saying it threatens the safety of provincial residents, but the crackdown did not take place as the leaflet was canceled.

Police have put in more than 1,000 careers, and fire authorities have also mobilized ambulances to prepare for emergencies.
