All this has happened under the new provisions. Daily Star According to Radio Free Asia, an unnamed source in North Hamgyong, close to North Korea’s China border, said the rules were set out in a video. According to the radio station, the latest restrictions are being implemented because transparent sleeves and ponytails ‘tarnish the image of the socialist system’.
Jong Un, 40, is desperate to keep his country separate from the South. In recent years, smugglers and traders from China have brought in South Korean films and TV dramas saved on memory cards. People living near the Chinese border can also use smuggled SIM cards to go online. The government deploys secret squads to wipe out traces of foreign influence in the isolated dictatorship, including a habit of holding birthday parties.
