Kim Jong Un bans hot dogs in North Korea to curb Western influence

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly banned hot dogs, viewing them as symbols of Western influence. This ban is part of a broader effort to eliminate foreign foods that he believes conflict with North Korean values. The ban classifies serving or selling hot dogs as an act of treason, punishable by arrest and hard labor. This follows previous bans on other foods associated with South Korea, such as tteokbokki and budae-jjigae. Additionally, reports indicate that individuals seeking a divorce in North Korea may face labor camp sentences ranging from one to six months.
