North Korea holds public executions for K-pop listeners: Report – By Luke Gentile (Washington Examiner) / December 15, 2021
North Korea publicly executed several of its citizens after they watched K-pop, or Korean pop, music videos, according to a report.
At least seven individuals who were found to have watched K-pop music videos were executed under North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the Transitional Justice Working Group said.
K-pop is exported from South Korea, and the possession and/or distribution of entertainment from South Korea is punishable by death, according to the communist nation’s supreme leader.
The music’s influence on North Korea would cause the nation to “crumble like a damp wall,” Kim said.
