Don t Leave North Koreans in the Dark: South Korea s Misguided Ban on Sending Information Across the Border

Jieun Baek for Foreign Affairs December 22, 2020 Jieun Baek ( 17), originally published in Foreign Affairs on December 21, 2020.  In a nondescript office on the outskirts of Seoul, a man I will call Kang copies South Korean television dramas and documentaries onto USB drives. In Seoul, this content is standard fare. Where it is headed, however, such information is rare and dangerous. When the drives are ready, they will be smuggled into North Korea, where the programs they contain are banned by the totalitarian regime in Pyongyang, and anyone who possesses or watches them risks high fines, imprisonment, or even execution for the crime of trying to learn about the outside world.
