From Business Insider:

In North Korea, watching your favorite Korean dramas could end in tragedy.

According to reports from South Korean news outlets Chosun TV and Korea JoongAng Daily, around 30 middle schoolers were publicly shot last week for watching South Korean dramas.

The shows were reportedly stored on USBs that were floated over the border by North Korean defectors.

Business Insider was unable to independently verify the report.

South Korean officials did not comment directly on the report, but according to Korea JoongAng Daily, one unnamed South Korean Unification Ministry official told reporters that "it is widely known that North Korean authorities strictly control and harshly punish residents based on the three so-called 'evil' laws."

One of these is North Korea's Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act, which forbids individuals from disseminating media that originates in South Korea, the US, or Japan.

It is unclear whether those restrictions apply to foreigners visiting the country, like the Russian schoolchildren preparing to attend summer camps in the country.

Greg Scarlatoiu, the executive director of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, told BI that "under the circumstances created by the intensified crackdown on information from the outside world, initially conducted under the pretext of COVID, these reports are definitely plausible."

This is not the first instance of North Koreans reportedly being killed for their association with content from their southern neighbor.

According to a 2022 UN Secretary-General report, a man in Kangwon Province was killed by a public firing squad after his neighborhood watch unit saw him selling digital content from South Korea.

A 2024 report on North Korean Human Rights,released by South Korea's Ministry of Unification, claimed that phones in North Korea are regularly checked for "South Korean-style language" and that wearing white wedding dresses is punished for being "reactionary".

A video was released earlier this year showing two teenagers being sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for watching a K-pop video.

Despite eyewitness accounts compiled by Amnesty International, the North Korean government has denied that public executions take place in the country.

According to North Korean authorities, the last execution took place in 1992.

North Korea is still technically at war with its southern counterpart, with their conflict in the 1950s ending in a truce rather than a peace treaty.

A defector told the Korea Herald that in 2020, North Korean parents were forced to sign a pledge stating they would ensure their children do not watch "impure video content" at home.

Recently, experts have speculated that North Korean military personnel could be sent to aid Russian efforts in Ukraine, following closer tiesbetween North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

Representatives from North Korea didn't immediately reply to requests for comment.”

No video or audio evidence so there's no way to verify it, I don't believe they'd sentence 30 people for something that retarded because I've personally been there and the laws are very relaxed in Pyongyang and in the neighboring countryside, I can't speak for anything towards the border though

 

[Gone crazy back soon]

We should begin air dropping whoopee cushions and Leslie Nielson films so they can learn what actual fun is

 

[Denim Chicken]

I don't know if I believe some of these crazy stories out of NK anymore. How are they even getting this info and how is it reliable. Reported by south Korea??? Um ok.

There are defectors but also from NK news reports to, that are meant just for the citizens with a TV

 

[mystery_man]

i mean i could understand if they watched K-Pop but its probably simillar shit anyways.

 

[D.O.A.]

This seems like bullshit from a South Korean tabloid. I'll rank this with "shot by AA guns, fed to starving dogs" and all the other shit they've made up in the past without any proof. Last time Kims sister was dead and his wife, yet they're both still alive on nork TV.

It's not that retarded. I agree with that fatty, ridiculous, pussy of Kim Jong Un Chin Chun Lin on this one. If you see any Korea shit you deserve to be shot...

We know his uncle was killed and probably in a cruel way. This is a Stalinist regime, well started as one and was for many decades and has evolved into a kind of post-Stalinism. We know that playbook. It’s not exaggerated the horror if anything it understated. You can read North Korean defectors and just read a book about Stalinism and Leninism and you can put together a good picture of what it’s like there. I’m curious what you think the nature of North Korea is actually

I don't particularly care if the north and south slid into the ocean and all the gooks drowned, that's America's problem like Ukraine. Bolsheviks were annoying Jews not much has changed.

Imagine if they were caught watching “Will and Grace…”

 

[dildo_swaggins]

Indeed. I was just if reading about North Korea yesterday and their sole guiding “philosophy” which is Juche, you might have heard of it. It reads more like Japanese facism or ultranationalist or a quasi religion then it does Marxism-Leninism. For example check out their bill of rights:

Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System​

1. We must give our all in the struggle to unify the entire society with the revolutionary ideology of the Great Leader Kim Il Sung.
2. We must honor the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung with all our loyalty.
3. We must make absolute the authority of the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung.
4. We must make the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung's revolutionary ideology our faith and make his instructions our creed.
5. We must adhere strictly to the principle of unconditional obedience in carrying out the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung's instructions.
6. We must strengthen the entire party's ideology and willpower and revolutionary unity, centering on the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung.
7. We must learn from the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung and adopt the communist look, revolutionary work methods and people-oriented work style.
8. We must value the political life we were given by the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung, and loyally repay his great political trust and thoughtfulness with heightened political awareness and skill.
9. We must establish strong organizational regulations so that the entire party, nation and military move as one under the one and only leadership of the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung.
10. We must pass down the great achievement of the revolution by the Great Leader comrade Kim Il Sung from generation to generation, inheriting and completing it to the end.

And if you read the Juche wiki you will see it’s about the leader, race and nation, that’s not communist.

You forgot 11. "We must suck the Great Leader's bee-sized weaner at every opportunity"

It's CommunoFascism. Communism for the masses, Fascism for the "Elite" few. Both are vile forms of radical Socialism, both end the same way.

Actually that’s were you are wrong. It is our problem, because of the Korean War and how end, our hand in the creation of a North and South Korea in the first place, after WW2. Also we have deep alliances with the south and we benefit eachother from our relationship. So it is inescapably our problem. Partly anyway.
Also because they counterfeit American dollars and do other outlaw type shit. You may not care about the South Koreans but I am glad as fuck that some people do

 

[Chief Queef]

I don't know of any productive citizen that has time to watch that vomit. Good form, North Korea...

To a North Korean growing up with their state tv it’s probably seen by them as well as Stanley Kubrick is here lol.

Also their dramas might be good because their movies now are like off the chain great. Some of my favorite films ever are South Korean.

 

[D.O.A.]

Actually that’s were you are wrong. It is our problem

No, it's America's problem. North Korea is a buffer zone from America spying on China just like Ukraine was a buffer zone for the Russians from NATO hardware, and America spying on Russia with the equipment they set up on people's borders. I couldnt care less about south/north koreans as much as I don't care about Ukrainians and what happens to them. Mind your own fucking business and we won't have any wars.

I know you don’t care because you are a reactionary and a fool. The fact of the matter is it’s a post WW2 21st century world. It matters what happens on the Korean Peninsula and if South Korea goes down to Juche it will affect us negatively. Not just for rich people or the president but regular people in middle America. Thats you what you reactionary isolationists don’t understand. Also the main cause of war post the Cold War is expansionist authoritarian or totalitarian regimes. What happened in America that your position, based in fantasy, is growing in America. It’s scary and sad!
