7 WTF facts about North Korea that will blow your mind

14

North Korea officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is one of the world’s most secretive countries and it goes way out of its way to dissociate itself from the rest of the world. Pyongyang is the capital and largest city in the country which defines itself as self-reliant socialist state widely considered a dictatorship with totalitarian and Stalinist influences, the supreme leader being Kin Jong-un. It is also the world’s most militarized society. If these things aren’t already freaking you out read on to know more…

  1. North Korea enlists around 2000 attractive women as part of a ‘Pleasure Squad’ who provide entertainment and sexual services for top officials.

2. The North Korean regime has long enforced strict rules on styling one’s hair; most of the barber shops in Pyongyang advertise photos of government-sanctioned haircuts.

Can you believe it? I mean everyone has a right to maintain his/her own style. But when you talk about North Korea, remove the right word from your dictionary.

3. Public transportation connecting the main towns is nearly non-existent as citizens need permits to go from one place to another even within the country. Because of this, the streets in North Korea are so empty that children use them as playgrounds and soldiers can be seen hitchhiking on the highways.

Well…this is good for children.

3. A night image of the Korean Peninsula taken by NASA illustrates the sheer isolation and underlying electricity problems in North Korea. Compared to its neighbours South Korea and China, it is completely dark.

4. Wearing jeans is banned in North Korea as it is seen as a sign of American imperialism.

5. In North Korea, possessing Bibles, watching South Korean movies and distributing pornography may be punishable by death.

6. North Korea follows a “three generations of punishment” rule, meaning that if one person violated the law or sent to prison, their children, parents and grandparents are sent to work with them.

7. Elections are held every 5 years in North Korea, but only one name appears on the ballot list. If a voter wishes to choose someone else, they can do so by crossing the name out, but without any anonymity and privacy.

No matter how progressed we think we are as a race these things makes me wonder is this the kind of world we are supposed to live in?

Instead of using every penny to increase it’s nuclear arsenal , they can be well-spent on public services.
