North Korea is known for its closed borders, the Kim family dictatorship, and unusual rules that citizens must follow. One such rule requires residents to keep portraits of their leader, Kim Jong-un, in their homes.
A recent video on the Instagram account shows a North Korean woman speaking nervously on a podcast. The video features Joe Rogan, where he is conversing with a woman who is likely a defector from North Korea. In the video, she shares the problematic conditions of her country.
The woman explains that in North Korea, everyone must have a photograph of Kim Jong-un in their home and keep it spotless at all times. Inspectors often enter homes overnight to check for dust. If dust is found in the photograph, it is seen as a sign of disloyalty, and the occupants can be arrested.
The punishment could either be a death sentence or the imprisonment of three generations of the family. She further revealed that saving Kim Jong-un’s picture takes precedence over keeping one’s life if a house catches fire.
The video has gone viral, garnering 51 lakh views, and many people have expressed surprise in the comments. Some viewers suggested that the woman had escaped from North Korea, and there is much more information about her story.
Apart from this, another surprising rule has emerged from North Korea. According to reports, North Korea has also banned selling and consuming hot dogs. This new decree has shocked many people, adding to the long list of restrictions in the country.
