"Interview" dropped on North Korea with balloons
100 thousand DVDs and USB flash drives with the Interview film recorded on them with Korean subtitles will be dropped on North Korea at the end of January this year in order to shake the cult of the personality of this country's leader.
Around the film "Interview", a comedy about a conspiracy against North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in the last month a lot of talk. First, Sony Pictures was hacked, then it had to cancel the film’s roll due to hacker threats, then the film went online and collected more than $ 15 million as of December 29th. Because of this, the company will be suing the singer Yun Mi Re, whose song was included in the soundtrack for the film, for which Yun Mi Re did not receive any money. The US authorities are confident that North Korea is behind Sony's burglary, which is doubtful .
South Korean activist Park Sung-hak said that he plans to dump 100,000 DVDs and USB flash drives with the Interview movie recorded on them after January 20, the date will depend on weather conditions. For this project, he has teamed up with the Foundation for Human Rights , founded in 2005 by a non-profit organization based in New York. The Foundation is financing the recording of a film on Korean subtitle recording media.

Balloon length of 12 meters will cost $ 5,000. There will be 10 of them in total. Wikipedia articles, popular TV shows, anti-state brochures will be recorded on the media. Also "in the set" will be US dollars, which will allow to buy rice on the black market.
A similar method of delivering information from the air over North Korea was also used by activists in 2012 (in the first photo in the post). Then the fire was opened on the balloons. This time the plan has other drawbacks: Internet penetration and the threat of execution. Not every home in North Korea has its own computer or DVD player. In order to get a PC, you need to get permission from the authorities, and the cost of the equipment itself will cost three monthly salaries of an ordinary worker. And it will be difficult to overcome fear and watch a movie, because it could face execution.

Absolute leadership in North Korea will be broken if the deification of Kim Jong-un stops.
