A South Korean civic group flew balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the inter-Korean border Monday night.
 
Park Sang-hak, the head of the Fighters for a Free North Korea which has spearheaded the controversial anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaign, told KBS on Tuesday that the group sent around 100-thousand anti-Pyongyang leaflets from the border region of Tanhyeon-myeon in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. 
 
Park said around 20 officials of the Human Rights Foundation, a New York-based non-profit organization, joined the efforts. The movie, “The Interview,” however, was not included in the anti-North materials.
 
Early this month, the North Korean defector said he would dispatch 100-thousand DVDs and USB memory sticks containing copies of the Hollywood comedy centering on a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
 
Last Thursday, Seoul's Unification Ministry officials met with Park to ask him to refrain from carrying out the plan, which could provoke the North. 
 
But Park declined the request, saying he would only consider the  only after and official demand from the South Korean government. Currently, the government has no legal basis for banning the launching of anti-Pyongyang leaflets.
 
Park told KBS that he would hold a joint news conference with officials of the U.S. Human Rights Foundation in front of the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan, central Seoul, Tuesday afternoon, where he would disclose a plan regarding the anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaign for this year.
 
He said one of the plans involved using drones to send the anti-North materials.
