South Korea's loudspeakers stationed at the DMZ between North and South Korea are being taken down as a conciliatory gesture towards the North. Historically, the broadcasts coming from the North and South have been on and off, in a tit for tat psychological war between the two Koreas.

Is the new president Lee Jae Myung taking the right step in turning the broadcasts off? He will be cutting off an estimated 200,000 North Korean citizens from the outside world. Could cutting off the broadcasts that challenge the North Korean regime's draconian ways actually help the relationship between the two Koreas?
