}}Kijŏng-dong, Kijŏngdong, or Kijŏng tong, is a village in P'yŏnghwa-ri ({{ko-hhrm|context=north|hangul=평화리|hanja=平和里}}),[1] Kaesong-si,[2] North Korea. It is situated in the North's half of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).[3] Also known in North Korea as Peace Village ({{ko-hhrm|context=north|mr=p'yŏnghwach'on|hangul=평화촌|hanja=平和{{linktext|村}}|labels=no}}),[3] it has been widely referred to as 'Propaganda Village' ({{ko-hhrm|rr=seonjeon maeul|hangul=선전마을|hanja=宣傳마을|labels=no}}) by those outside North Korea, especially in South Korean and Western media.[4][5][7][6][7]

Kijŏng-dong is one of two villages permitted to remain in the four-kilometre-wide (2.5 mi) DMZ set up under the 1953 armistice ending the Korean War;[8][11] the other is the South Korean village of Daeseong-dong,[9] {{convert|2.22|km}} away.

History

According to the North Korean government, the village has a collective farm that is run and maintained by 200 local families living there, which is serviced by a child-care center, a kindergarten and a primary school and a secondary school, together with a hospital.[10] However, according to South Korea, the town is an uninhabited village which was established during the 1950s in a seeming attempt of using propaganda skills and efforts to encourage pro-North Korean defection from people in South Korea as well as to house and provide for the North Korean Korean People's Army (KPA) troops manning the wide and extensive network of artillery-gun positions, defensive fortifications and underground command-and-control centres and marshalling-bunkers that surround the border zone.[7][3][11][12]

The village features a number of brightly-painted multi-story buildings and low-rise apartments (many constructed from poured-concrete), with almost all structures there apparently wired for and provided with electricity. The small town was oriented and positioned such that the bright-blue roofs and white side-walls of the various residential buildings built next to the massive pole flying the North Korean flag would be particularly-distinguishing features when viewed from the southern side across the border (the DMZ) between the two Koreas. Scrutiny with modern telescopic lenses and clearer and sharper images produced, however, has led to the conclusion amongst many that the village's buildings are simply empty shells of concrete and steel which lack not only window-glass but even interior rooms and floors as well,[11][13] with lights in the buildings and structures turned on and off at preset (fixed) times and empty sidewalks in the small town being swept by caretakers (possibly North Korean soldiers in disguise as local civilians) as part of efforts by the North Korean authorities to preserve the illusion of activity and life in the village.[14]

The village is surrounded by extensive and vast cultivated farm-fields which are clearly visible, not only to visitors to the North Korean side of the DMZ, but to visitors to the South Korean side as well.

Flagpole

In the 1980s, the South Korean government built a {{Convert|98.4|m|ft|-tall|adj=mid}} flagpole with a {{Convert|130|kg|lb|0|adj=on}} flag of South Korea in Daeseong-dong ({{Coord|37|56|30.24|N|126|40|48.07|E|scale:1000|display=inline}}).

The North Korean government responded by building an even taller one, the Panmunjom flagpole, at {{Convert|160|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} with a {{Convert|270|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} flag of North Korea in Kijŏng-dong, {{Convert|1.2|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} across the demarcation line from South Korea ({{Coord|37|56|42.99|N|126|39|18.78|E|scale:1000|display=inline}}), in what some have called the "flagpole war". For over a decade, the flagpole was the tallest in the world.[11] In 2010, the flagpole became the second-tallest in the world at the time, after the National Flag Square in Baku, Azerbaijan at {{Convert|162|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.[11][15][16] It is now the fourth-tallest flagpole in the world, after the Dushanbe Flagpole in Tajikistan, at {{Convert|165|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, and the Jeddah Flagpole in Saudi Arabia, at {{Convert|170|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.

Propaganda loudspeakers

Massive loudspeakers mounted on several of the buildings deliver DPRK propaganda broadcasts directed towards the South.[11] Originally, they extolled the North's virtues in great detail and urged disgruntled soldiers and farmers to walk across the border to be received as brothers.[17] Few if any took up the offer,[18] and they switched to anti-Western speeches, agitprop operas, and patriotic marching music for up to 20 hours a day.[17] From 2004 to 2016, North and South agreed to end their loudspeaker broadcasts at each other.[19] The broadcasts resumed in 2016 due to escalating tensions as a result of the January 2016 nuclear test,[20] though the South unilaterally decided to halt its broadcasts at midnight on 22 April 2018 as a gesture of goodwill days before the 2018 inter-Korean summit was held on 27 April.[21]
