Hotdogs have grown in popularity in South Korea. As a result, Kim made it plain that serving sausages in the North would be regarded a 'act of treason.'

North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un implemented yet another strange policy in the country, prohibiting civilians from enjoying a favorite culinary item. According to NHK, the legitimate North Korean dictator forbade his citizens from eating hotdogs as part of a crackdown on Western culture and everything that comes with it.

Hotdogs have grown in popularity in South Korea. As a result, Kim made it plain that serving sausages in the North would be a "act of treason." According to reports, people were found preparing or selling hotdogs around the country, and several arrests were made as a result.

The perpetrators were sentenced to hard labour in the hermit nation's notorious labor camps. Hotdogs aren't the only foods forbidden in North Korea. Kim's dictatorship has also banned the sale of budae-jjigae, a South Korean-American fusion cuisine consisting of an umami-rich broth, Korean hot pepper paste, flakes, kimchi, and American Spam, beans, and sausage.

Around 2017, more than 50 years after its creation in the South, the dish known as a "army base stew" crossed the border into North Korea. Budae-jjigae originated in the 1950s, when US soldiers in the region abandoned meat, which South Koreans used to make stews.

Things that are banned in North Korea

According to a report by Radio Free Asia (RFA), North Korea has also prohibited steamed rice cakes known as tteokbokki, which are popular on South Korean streets. North Koreans are not permitted to wear short skirts, logo-adorned apparel, high heels, bright clothing, denim, or other types of attire.

Fashion in the country is state-controlled, and North Korean citizens are not even permitted to wear hairstyles other than those authorized by the state. Aside from that, if a couple divorces, they will have to perform hard labour. Divorce is regarded as an anti-socialist act, and anyone seeking to divorce must obtain government approval.

The hermit kingdom prohibits the consumption of foreign TV shows, literature, and movies, as well as the possession of satellite dishes. People in North Korea are also prohibited from celebrating birthdays on July 8th and December 17th, which are the death anniversaries of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, respectively. As a result, it is acceptable to assume that the people of North Korea are subjected to the country's severe system.
