North Korea’s‘capitalistic lifestyle’Ban

This is just one of several fashion statements that North Koreans will have to bid farewell to.

Kim Jong-un, the leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, has responded to a worker’s union and a major newspaper’s plea to outlaw skinny jeans, mullets, body piercings, and other fashion trends. The prohibition comes after a state-run tabloid and the Workers Party warned that more needed to be done to prevent “ Capitalistic culture “ from taking over the country, claiming that socialism failed due to the “invasion of the capitalist’s lifestyle “. Rodong Sinmum, the government’s official newspaper, released an article expressing worry over young North Koreans rapidly adopting Western dress patterns. “We must be wary of even the slightest sign of the capitalist lifestyle and fight to get rid of them,” the article said. The new fashion rules are part of the regime’s crackdown on “anti-socialist behavior”.

The new fashion regulations are part of the regime’s campaign against "anti-socialist behavior." The Socialist Patriotic Youth League, a North Korean youth organization, that frequently acts as the nation’s “fashion police” prohibiting people from wearing garments that appear too foreign. Citizens who violate the restrictions may be detained in labor camps, according to legislation enacted by leader Kim Jong-un last year. Some individuals believe that the prohibitions are a good idea. Skinny jeans have long been a contentious fashion item, especially with an increasing number of younger men wearing them. These include rock bands and boy bands such as BTS and Thirty Seconds to Mars.
