      Likely misinformation and restrictions from SK along with sensationalization.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_North_Korea#Political_bias

      I recently learnt about the Korean war and how the USAmerican govt killed approx 20% of NK population, Unit 731 bioweapons and even threatened to nuke NK and China.

      Also, about the SK National Security Act which bans positive news coverage on SK, as they are technically still in conflict.

        it’s not merely misinformation, it’s projection as usual. the only korea where we positively know the state mandated haircuts is, to nobody’s surprise, south korea.
