NORTH KOREA: KIM JONG-UN WAGING WAR ON SLANG, JEANS AND FOREIGN FILMS

June 8, 2021:

North Korea has recently introduced a sweeping new law which seeks to stamp out any kind of foreign influence - harshly punishing anyone caught with foreign films, clothing or even using slang, BBC reported on 7 June 2021.
Anyone caught with large amounts of media from South Korea, the United States or Japan now faces the death penalty. Those caught watching face prison camp for 15 years.
Recently, country's leader Kim Jong-Un wrote a letter in state media calling on the Youth League to crack down on "unsavoury, individualistic, anti-socialist behaviour" among young people. He wants to stop foreign speech, hairstyles and clothes which he described as "dangerous poisons".
The Daily NK, an online publication in Seoul with sources in North Korea, reported that three teenagers had been sent to a re-education camp for cutting their hair like K-pop idols and hemming their trousers above their ankles. The BBC cannot verify this account.
Analysts say Kim is trying to stop outside information reaching the people of North Korea as life in the country becomes increasingly difficult.
