Note: I couldn’t find an actual credible source for this, so I don’t think this is real. Saw one claim wildly different numbers, and the only links I found on this were to like TikTok and meme pages.
Yeah, it isnt hard to look up the subject and find that there is no good evidence this happened. At least not yet. The only things I can find are social media circulations. Though it seems some people were executed after being found to have foreign media Squid Games.
Good point, like who is the journalist covering North Korea? They presumably don't live/work in the nation to witness these events, so do they have a guy-on-the-inaide who they telephone up every few months like "pssst.... What's new north of the 47th Parallel?"
Are video games banned there or is it just because it involves interacting with Capitalism market system? Or is it in fact because they can't use the internet - simplest explanation I suppose.

NK citizens don't even have internet access, let alone gaming capable computers

To playing League, you don't need a gaming computer though. It will run on a pile of cat shit, but it is a waste of the cat shit.

WTF is on that flag? A hammer, sickle, and... "neck massager"?

It's meant to be a writing brush apparently

That's actually rather ironic considering media is controlled 100%

So you’re saying we need to add this to the stars and bars?

The American flag is already perfect symbolism. Rotate it 90° and you're looking at a view of the night sky through the bars of a jail cell.

It's a calligraphy brush. Like those old-school Chinese ones.
They could have made the head longer or pointier or something. Specially when you're gonna put it on monuments with a hand clenching the base.
PS: I didn't know this, that monument has a pretty dope mural inside it.

that's not a mural that's a fresca
agreed it's dope tho

I don't think North Korea has Fresca, they probably don't let Coca-Cola in.

Assuming this is true and accurate.

Yeah, i guess we should be a bit sceptical about commentary surrounding north korea.
