Young North Koreans have been told to avoid using 'dangerous' slang as part of a ramped-up campaign to block cultural influences from South Korea.
as North Korea grapples with food shortages and an economic crisis sparked by a fall in trade with China during the Covid-19 pandemic and worsened by international sanctions, Maxwell said Kim has become increasingly focused on stamping out that threat.
"For the North Koreans, while they're suffering right now, to see that beyond [the southern border] there's wealth, there's food and there's freedom is just not going to bode well in terms of Kim's grip on power," she said. A woman and child walk before a fountain in a park next to the Grand People's Study House in Pyongyang, North Korea, on April 5., Seoul National University found that nearly 48 percent of defectors had been regular consumers of South Korean TV and films, as well as of the country's music, before they fled the North.
Both Maxwell and Kim said that trend is unlikely to stop, even in the midst of North Korea's heightened clampdown.
