The Unification Ministry of South Korea released the report, which is based on the testimonies of hundreds of defectors.
Included in it is the story of a 22-year-old who was put to death after confessing to watching movies and listening to South Korean music; the news broke this story last year.
Although it hasn’t responded to the latest report, North Korea called the previous year’s “slander and fabrication”.
The gathered accounts indicate that since 2021, there has been a rise in the number of home inspections by officials who are searching for evidence of foreign culture, according to Yonhap news agency.
Wearing a white wedding dress is one of the alleged warning signs.
It continues, saying that people’s phones are also being examined and searched for South Korean terminology in contacts and texts.
Despite the fact that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is known to use sunglasses, the article claims that they have also been labeled counter-revolutionary. Conversely, his father also declared that other commonplace clothing items, such as pants, were counter-revolutionary.
