North Korea imposes strict bans on hot dogs and divorces
Kim Jong Un introduces more bans. As reported by the "Daily Mail," after the ban on wearing short skirts, the North Korean leader has tightened divorce regulations. Additionally, as part of the new regulations, he has banned the consumption of one of the most popular dishes worldwide.
In North Korea, leader Kim Jong Un is imposing further restrictions. Recently, the wearing of short skirts was banned, as it was deemed a violation of socialist etiquette. Authorities detained 10 women for breaking these rules, sparking discussions about discrimination. The women spent many hours at police stations, writing statements condemning their behaviour.
According to the "Daily Mail," a new ban has also emerged in the country on expressions of joy, such as laughter or drinking alcohol, during the anniversary of Kim Jong Il's death. These are days of mourning, during which rule violations are severely punished, and residents must adhere to the regime's edicts to avoid repression.
North Korea bans hot dogs
Now Kim Jong Un has banned the consumption of hot dogs, considering them too Western. People caught selling or preparing this dish could be sent to labour camps. The "Daily Mail" reports that this ban also includes the popular dish budae jjigae, which combines Korean and American ingredients.
The leader of North Korea has also tightened divorce regulations. According to the new rules, divorcing couples will be sent to labour camps for six months, whereas previously, only the person who filed for divorce was punished. Radio Free Asia reports that these changes aim to combat "anti-socialist" behaviours.
Increasing speculation about Kim Jong Un's health prompts considerations about his successor. According to the "Daily Mail," on New Year's, the leader appeared publicly with his daughter, Kim Ju Ae, which may suggest that she could be his successor. Kim Ju Ae is the middle child of Kim Jong Un and Ri Sol Ju.
