The ban was uncovered by citizen journalists at Rimjin-gang, a North Korean news website supported by AsiaPress.

The regime rigorously opposes Western culture in any form and has been known to send those guilty to its labour camps.

“A growing number of North Korean people are infatuated with Western culture,” said Ishimaru Jiro, a Japanese reporter who works with citizen journalists inside the regime.

“The crackdown will continue until the end of the upcoming gathering,” he added, referring to the upcoming 7th Congress of the Workers’ Party.
It was also claimed that “inspection units,” consisting of teenagers dedicated to leader Kim Jong-un, are prowling the streets for those who dare to break the dress code.

They are also required to have a particular hairstyle.
