No thread on the minor happenings in North Korea (or South Korea I suppose if your one of
those people) yet? Well don't worry, something newsworthy happened in Best Korea recently to spark off this thread.
It’s all business with no party in North Korea. Dictator Kim Jong Un has banned citizens from rocking mullets in the country. Along with that, skinny jeans have also been banned.

Yes he banned mullets and skinny jeans... but it doesn't end there. But why you might ask?
According to the Daily Express...
Daily Express said:
"History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defence power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle."
The newspaper warned young people in Kim Jong-un's hermit state are more likely to be influenced by the "exotic" lifestyle of capitalism.
The article continued: "We must be wary of even the slightest sign of the capitalistic lifestyle and fight to get rid of them."
According to reports, Kim Jong-un has banned "non-socialist" hairstyles like the mullet.
Not only is he limiting hairstyles, he's limited women to one of only 15 different hairstyles apparently as well as banning the use of hair dye. Needless to say other culturally degenerate attire has also been banned such as lip and nose piercings, ripped jeans and graphic tee-shirts (ie T-shirts with slogans on them).
This comes in the wake of the worldwide explosion of popularity of K-pop including groups such as Blackpink which is also curbed in Bestest Korea and which the Hermit Kingdom compares with "slavery" saying these popstars are bound to unfair contracts with greedy, capitalistic music studios.
Basically this Western Influence penetrating North Korea could poison its population and ultimately lead to the current leaderships loss of prestige and then power.
