Young North Koreans have been warned they must follow traditional lifestyles and adhere to the country's dialect.
The secluded state's official newspaper made the demand in a column as Pyongyang tries to eradicate cultural influences from South Korea.
Kim Jong Un's regime is particularly focused on the speaking habits of millennials, with some mimicking their neighbours by referring to their husbands as "oppa" - a term that means "older brother".
The Rodong Sinmun newspaper said North Korea's standard language is superior and young people must use it correctly - all while ensuring their clothes, hairstyle, music preferences and dancing styles are acceptable.

Last year, the NK government made people turn their pet dogs over to restaurants. Yeah, communism is just grand. Can we send all the BLM and Antifa people there?

They have restaurants in NK? Why would the elite want to eat dogs? They are the only ones that can afford to go to restaurants.

Some Asian countries regularly eat dog meat. In NK, that may be the only meat they have. I’m more surprised that ny N Koreans can afford pets.

North Korea is the bastard child of a one-night-stand between Mao and Stalin behind a dumpster.

If not for Fat Man and Little Boy, Japan may have shared the same fate.

Before you know it, the Left will require us to wear tie-dye and birkenstocks.
Many on the Right will submit*.

“Or else” takes on a whole new meaning when enforced with a ZSU-23-2.

Very true. At least the northern half of Japan. All of Hokkaido at a minimum.
