Two North Korea Teens, 16 And 17, Executed For Watching K-drama by adamusuleiman11: 1:30am On Dec 09, 2022
New Delhi: North Korea executed two high school students for watching South Korean and American movies, a report said. Viewing or distributing Korean dramas, popularly known as K-dramas, is strictly forbidden in North Korea.

The two boys, 16 and 17, met in October at a school in North Korea's Ryanggang Province and watched several South Korean and American drama shows, the Independent reported.

The two teens were executed in front of locals at an airfield in the city, according to the Mirror. The incident took place in October, but the information about the killings emerged only last week.

The government said that the crimes committed by the two boys were "evil", hence the horrified residents were made to watch the execution.

Last year, North Korea announced an 11-day mourning to mark the death anniversary of Kim Jong Un's father Kim Jong Il. During this period, citizens were not allowed to laugh, shop or drink.

In 2020, the government banned foreign information and influence as part of its crackdown on Korean shows which were growing popular in the country.

South Korean shows are smuggled on flash drives and watched behind closed doors in order to escape fines, imprisonment, or worse, death.

And in the other thread, Iran just executed a protester. Nigeria will not be ruled by sick people like Iran and North Korea. We must be a saner nation by 2023.
Vote for Peter Obi and Ahmed Yusuf Datti.

when the people are weak, this is what happens. The number of people holding the country to ransom including the leader may not be up to one million, if the rest can mobilise themselves, even to the point of death, to fight the regime, they will be liberated. The countries that are enjoying freedom today, they fought for it with the lives of their loved ones. Check American history and some other countries in the world and see how their people fought for their freedom.

Excellent post. However, North Korea programs it's citizens like robots from birth. It's like having a dog from puppy and training it to obey only the masters.
