Message in a Bottle Operation to North Korea
Volunteers on the South Korean shore, led by Park Jong-un, send plastic bottles filled with rice, dollar bills, and USB sticks across the Yellow Sea to North Korea. Park, a North Korean defector, started this mission in 2015 to aid people in need, inspired by discarded items on North Korean beaches. The USB sticks contain content like a popular Korean drama and news clips to offer information and hope to North Koreans, aiming to expose them to outside perspectives.
