North Korea has reportedly executed around 30 teenage students for watching South Korean dramas.

Citing a South Korean government official, local cable channel TV Chosun reported on Thursday that the North Korean authorities publicly shot the middle school students last week for allegedly watching South Korean dramas stored on USBs.
These USBs allegedly had been sent via balloons by North Korean defector groups from Seoul last month.
What has been confirmed is that North Korea does harshly punish those who are caught watching South Korean dramas:
The North’s Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act, enacted in December 2020, mandates the death penalty for those distributing South Korean media and up to 15 years in prison for viewers.
The law also targets books, songs and photos, with a clause that imposes up to two years of forced labor for using South Korean speech or singing styles.
Last month, to curb the spread of South Korean culture within their borders, North Korean authorities sentenced some 30 teenagers, around 17 years old, to life imprisonment and death.

Never lose sight of who and what they are and have always been. When they show themselves, believe them.
This is good news.
Cultural Appropriation is a serious offense and it requires serious management.
When non-whites use an indoor toilet… death.
Women working on a “career” when the kitchen is full of unmade sandwiches… death.
Orphans thinking they want a real family which is clearly not for them… death.
My girlfriend appropriating adult words like pedophile… death.
Together… you… me… North Korea… we can stamp out cultural appropriation.
Keep up the good work.
While the punishment does seem a bit extreme to me gentrified ears, the whining, crying, and apparent misogyny present in most Korean dramas probably would deserve prison time for the writers, directors, and producers…
Don’t think so? Try treating a female colleague at work like women are treated in the dramas…
