Human rights activists have confirmed that North Korean authorities have publicly executed seven people for watching and distributing K-pop clips.
According to data based on the accounts of more than 700 defectors, people were shot between 2012 and 2014 in the city of Hyesan on the border with China.
The leader of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, fights against K-pop music and Western culture, which, in his opinion, is corrupting the minds of North Koreans.
In addition, it became known that executions were deliberately organized in public places in order to intimidate the population. The sentence was carried out by three soldiers who fired a total of nine bullets at the accused.
“The families of those executed were forced to watch the execution.”
Earlier in North Korea, a man was sentenced to death for selling copies of The Squid Game. He downloaded the series in China, then uploaded it to flash drives and distributed it to his countrymen.
