6 teens sentenced for listening to Korean songs

  In late March, 6 teenagers aging 16 ~ 17 were sentenced for listening to Korean melodies from ROK. After listening to 50 of them, they decided to share with others by USB, but were caught during the process. They probably end up being in labor camps.

  Meanwhile, Kim Jong Un and his wife said they have 'pretty much enjoyed' the performances brought by South Korean artist group who arrived recently. This reveals the double standard and paradox of NK's policies and system.

  In North Korea, not only South Korean and American entertainments are strictly banned. Those who watch Russian and Indian movies (Bollywood) will be jailed for 3 years.  
According to "North Korea Intellectuals Solidarity", an organization composed of NK defectors, there are currently around 1200 North Koreans jailed in Kaechon prison in north-western part. Their crime was solely watching South Korean TV shows.
