Incredible story in North Korea.
A student who "smuggled" the global hit South Korean Netflix series Squid Game from China by loading it onto a USB stick would have been sentenced to death by firing squad, according to Variety citing US-based Radio Free Asia.
The young man, discovered after some students were caught watching the series, would risk the firing squad. Among the other students, one would have been sentenced to life in prison for buying the stakes, the other to five years of hard labor while teachers and school leaders have been fired and risk ending up working in "remote mines," Variety says.
In December 2020, the North Korean regime passed a "Law for the Elimination of Reactionary Thought and Culture" which prohibits the entry and dissemination of cultural material such as films, plays, music and books in the country. The measure is mainly aimed at preventing the dissemination of content produced by South Korea and the United States.
Netflix is not available in China by the way, but the series has been widely pirated across the country.
