Ten senior members of North Korea’s ruling party have been executed after they were caught watching soap operas. The officials were killed on the order of dictator Kim Jong-Un, taking the number of senior government and military members executed this year to 50, South Korea's intelligence agency have said. The ten were ‘executed by firing squad for watching South Korean soap operas, bribery or womanising’.

These executions seemed to have occurred before Kim disappeared for awhile. But still I wonder if Kim did this to show the world he is still boss.

You have to the higher ups in the Party will decide to get rid of Jong just for self-preservation but Stalin was able to get away with his purges for over 20 years.

Shift the locale and offenders to say, Seattle, Portland,
Spokane or similar. Change the offending program to “Rush Limbaugh” and you have liberal America perhaps a decade from now. Liberals are about mindset; if they cannot reset your mind, they will kill you eventually - and in their own minds, they will do it for the good of the people.

He is on sick little dude - with nukes! The whole country suffers.I'm sure he's constantly looking over his shoulder. My guess is that if he's toppled, his entire clan will be killed, the way deposed royal lines used to be exterminated in order to pre-empt any problems from pretenders to the throne related to the former rulers.

I watch Korean dramas all the time. They’re actually very good. I’m not sure if they’re ‘to die for’ but I’ve been watching them for years. :0)
