The consumption of South Korean media, like popular K-dramas including Squid Game and the globally celebrated K-pop music, invites extreme punishments in North Korea.
The punishments come in the form of being sent to labour camps, being publicly humiliated, and sometimes even d**th.
In a new testimony documentation by human rights organization Amnesty International, those who managed to escape the regime of Kim Jong Un expressed that the supreme leader’s authorities not only execute those caught watching the neighboring country’s content, but also forced school children to watch the sentencing as a lesson.
