North Korea is executing schoolchildren for watching South Korean TV shows and listening to K-Pop, including Netflix’s hit series “Squid Game,” according to Amnesty International.
Escapees told the human rights group that teenagers and even middle school students have been publicly executed, sent to labor camps or subjected to brutal public humiliations for consuming foreign media banned by the regime.
The accounts are based on 25 in-depth interviews conducted in 2025 with North Koreans who fled the country between 2012 and 2020, the organization said.
Most were between ages 15 and 25 when they escaped.
One interviewee said people, including high school students, were executed for watching “Squid Game” in Yanggang Province near the Chinese border.
Radio Free Asia separately documented an execution for distributing the show in neighboring North Hamgyong Province in 2021.
“Taken together, these reports from different provinces suggest multiple executions related to the shows,” Amnesty wrote.

Send our young would-be communists over there to live.
Boy are they strict.
Getting sent to bed without supper doesn’t really work there.
Squid Game came out in 2023, so folks who fled between 2012 and 2020 are making it up.
Having said this, I do believe the North Koreans are harsh on their citizens. I don’t think they execute kids for watching TV or listening to music.
Given the chance, it’s what the rats would do to MAGA.
What do you base your opinion on? Because I have read multiple accounts that say they do.
Stay on your bubble, hug your teddy bear and cry yourself to sleep.
I am just pointing out that the article is bogus and my gut that North Korea does not execute people for wating bann3d TV shows.
For the rest of their lives.
Given that there’s apparently a food shortage for civilians but not for their leaders.
What does your gut say about that?
Or do you think North Korean teenage girls are selling themselves to Chinese brothels, which are incredibly brutal, for funzies?
More likely, they heard a rumor that PDJT is planning on another visit so they want to dirty it up any way they can.
The sad part is that I could totally believe the allegations while also believing that Amnesty International totally just made some stuff up.
Sure enough.
They’ll kill ya then they’ll go to work on ya…
It’s inhuman how strict North Korea is.
I need to hear both sides.
