The detentional leader Kim Chen Yun called K-Pop corrupting youth “malignant tumor”. It is reported by the New York Times.
According to him, this “tumor” corrupts “clothes, hairstyles, speech, behavior of young North Koreans.”
According to the publication, in recent months, the North Korean leader and state media every day “scold” South Korean films, Korean dramas and video K-Pop.

In this regard, he announced outside the law Skinni jeans and torn jeans, “antisocialist” hairstyles will be considered as signs of a threat to public building.
Previously, the DPRK accused the South Korean musical industry in the slave operation of artists. The North Korean Internet portal stated that Kay-pop artists, including members of the popular BTS and Blackpink groups, from early years, allegedly forced to subordinate and severe work through unfair contracts. CNN assumes that this material is an attempt of propagandists to counteract the influence of foreign media.
