Kim Jong-un, who is famous for banning almost everything to North Korean citizens, added hot dogs and scams to the list. Both are now strictly prohibited in North Korea, which has been ruled by the Kim dynasty since 1948: having a sausage in a bun can now land you in prison on charges of treason.. Daily Mail writes about this.

Any North Korean caught selling hot dogs on the street or cooking a sausage roll at home risks being sent to labor camps.. Also banned is the spicy Korean-American dish budae-jjigae, made from broth, Korean hot pepper paste, kimchi, American canned SPAM ham, beans and sausage..

In an interview, a seller from the northern province of Ryanggang said: " The dish was imported from wealthy, pro-Western South Korea in 2017.

This dish was invented after the Korean War (1950-1953), when the American army was stationed in the city of Uijeongbu, near Seoul.. They had their own food at the military base, and the Koreans knew nothing about it. But we tried to adapt unusual products to suit our tastes. The result was bude-chchige, or “Military Base Stew.”.

The seller also confirmed that North Korean police and market management have stated that anyone caught selling this savory snack will be closed.

The bizarre move is part of the Kim Jong Un regime's ongoing efforts to suppress what it sees as a decadent capitalist culture infiltrating the country.. North Korean leader claims American dish is too Western and therefore has a detrimental effect on North Koreans.

In addition, it is no longer possible to get a divorce in the DPRK.. Kim Jong Un ordered divorcing couples to be sent to labor camps to make them pay the maximum price for their "

The penalty for divorce, which according to Kim Jong-un is an “anti-socialist act,” is six months in a labor camp.. But women could potentially face longer prison sentences, according to reports..

This represents a tightening of existing laws, which previously only punished the party seeking divorce, even in cases of physical violence.

A resident of northern Ryanggang Province said, " Immediately after the verdict, they were transferred to the district forced labor camp.. Until last year, when a couple divorced, only the one who filed for divorce first was sent to a forced labor camp."

Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported that divorce rates have increased amid COVID-19 as lockdown restrictions have left couples in financial straits.

Divorce rates have reportedly not dropped significantly, although citizens now face public humiliation and expulsion from the Workers' Party of Korea.

And at the end of 2024, a defector from North Korea said that Christmas should not be celebrated. Underground Christians can celebrate in complete secrecy. Because if they are discovered, the price will be very high.

“The minimum punishment would be to be sent to a forced labor camp or forced to do hard work, or even shot on the spot,” the defector said. Instead, North Koreans celebrate on December 24. Instead, the crazy despot demands that on December 24, North Koreans celebrate the birthday of Comrade Kim Jong Suk - the wife of the first supreme leader of the state, Kim Il Sung. And they bring flowers to her statues.

Jong Un has ruled North Korea with an iron fist since 2011 and has introduced a number of strange laws during this time.. For example, blue jeans are prohibited in the country; even tourists are not recommended to wear them. You also cannot profess any religion - there are known cases where people were executed for finding a Bible. Focus wrote about the strangest prohibitions and rules of life in the DPRK.
