Squid Game Smuggler Has Been Sentenced to Death in North Korea

From what I've heard this doesn't really represent the on the ground reality of NK. From what I've read, thumb drives of South Korean media are rampant and pervasive in NK for those rich enough to have something to play it on which is seems like some substantial portion(wild guess 20-30%) of the population.

So I'd imagine most of those people have seen squid game. This just seems like more of a good headline to get to reference squid game and NK together and pick a specific example of some guy getting caught.

While North Korea does have draconian punishments for smugglers and well, pretty much anything that puts the stability of the state at risk, Radio Free Asia is a propaganda mill that vomits out endless bullshit.

I have a feeling that this happened while men forced to wear the same haircut as Kim Jong Un landed unicorns on the sun, if you catch my drift.

The only source for this is Radio Free Asia. Any other place references RFA.

That’s the most insane article I’ve read in a while. I can’t imagine living somewhere like that

I don’t trust anything reported about North Korea. For all we know, the authorities themselves smuggled it in simply to make an example of a few, to maintain the status quo of fearful obedience. There’s just no way to verify anything that’s reported about NK.

Hm. Considering it paints a fairly dim view about life in south korea i would think NK could just use it as propoganda

see you on the other side my friend
