Activist Vows to Send Copies of 'The Interview' Into North Korea

An activist in South Korea has said he will try to airdrop copies of "The Interview" movie into North Korea so it may be viewed by locals.

South Korea activist Park Sang-hak recently told NBC News that he plans to launch copies of "The Interview" on DVD and USB memory sticks in a balloon, hoping that it may float over the North Korean border and land in the hands of citizens who have been banned from seeing the comedy, which follows two journalists as they try to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

Sang-hak is reportedly partnering with the U.S.-based Human Rights Foundation nonprofit group to distribute the movie in North Korea.

The mission will reportedly begin as early as January, but gain momentum in March when wind direction and strength will favor the balloon's travel into North Korea.

Park told the Associated Press that his goal is to convince North Koreans that their leader is not as perfect as he has convinced them to believe. "The Interview," which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco, pokes fun at Kim Jong Un as self-involved and evil.

"North Korea's absolute leadership will crumble if the idolization of leader Kim breaks down," Park told the Associated Press via telephone interview.

"We have to let the world know about the atrocities in North Korea and help our brothers and sisters there," he added.

Recent photos show Pak releasing large bags containing copies of the movies into the sky, attached to a balloon.
