North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has implemented a ban on hot dogs, deeming them too Western. He has also issued a decree that divorcing couples face up to six months in labor camps for what is considered 'anti-socialist' behavior.
Kim Jong-un has reportedly banned North Korea ns from eating hot dogs because they are too Western. The despot decreed that anyone caught serving them at home or selling them in the street is committing treason. Offenders risk being sent to the communist state’s labour camps where conditions are so appalling the UN said they may amount to crimes against humanity. The decree is the latest example of Pyongyang cracking down on what it sees as the invasion of Western culture, according to the Sun.
The latest target is Budae-jjigae — a spicy noodle soup made using hot dogs or Spam. It was imported from pro-Western South Korea in 2017 and quickly became very popular. But a vendor in the northern province of Ryanggang said: ‘Sales of budae-jjigae in the market have stopped. ‘The police and market management have said anyone caught selling it will be shut down.’ It was also reported that Kim has ordered divorcing couples be sent to a labour camp for up to six months to atone for their ‘crimes’. This is because splitting up is seen as ‘anti-socialist’. Until last year, only the person who first filed for divorce was sent to a labour training camp, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported. A resident of the northern Ryanggang province said: ‘I went to the Kimjongsuk County People’s Court… where 12 people received divorce decrees. ‘Immediately after the verdict, they were transferred to the county labour training camp.’ Divorce rates had increased on the back of Covid-19 when lockdown constraints put couples up against it financially. The rates are yet to significantly drop, despite citizens being threatened with public humiliation and expulsion from the Korean Workers’ Part
