Amnesty International has collected testimony that claims North Korea is publicly executing teenagers for watching the South Korean show Squid Game. People who escaped the country say Kim Jong Un‘s government is giving death sentences, hard labor camp sentences, and public humiliation to citizens caught watching outside entertainment.
According to LAD Bible, if someone is caught watching K-Pop or popular dramas like Descendants of the Sun or Crash Landing on You, they could face death. In 2020, the government created the “Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture” law. This law makes it a crime punishable by death to watch, distribute, or own media from outside the country, especially content from South Korea or the US.
