The equipment activist Lee Min-bok uses to send balloons laden with anti-Kim Jong-un leaflets across the border from South Korea into the North has been gathering dust and cobwebs for months.
When centre-left politician Lee Jae-myung won the June presidential election, Min-bok was among several South Korea-based activists who stopped their missions, anticipating a crackdown by the new, pro-engagement administration.
